REMOVAL
1. Remove front cover. Refer to EM-38, "Removal and Installation".
2. Remove the oil pump drive spacer.
3. Remove the oil pump.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal, paying attention of the following:
• When inserting the oil pump drive spacer, align the crankshaft key
and the flat face of the inner rotor.
• If they are not aligned, rotate the oil pump inner rotor by hand.
• Make sure that the each part is aligned and tap lightly until it
reaches the end.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Start the engine, and check for leaks of engine oil.
• Stop engine and wait 10 minutes.
• Check level and add engine oil as required. Refer to LU-8, "
Inspection".

ENGINE MAINTENANCE
4. Install the Tool by installing the radiator cap adapter onto the
radiator neck opening. Then attach the gauge body assembly
with the refill tube and the venturi assembly to the radiator cap
adapter.
5. Insert the refill hose into the coolant mixture container that is
placed at floor level. Make sure the ball valve is in the closed
position.
• Use Genuine NISSAN Long Life Anti-freeze coolant or equiva-
lent, mixed 50/50 with distilled water or demineralized water.
Refer to MA-10, "
SAE Viscosity Number" .
6. Install an air hose to the venturi assembly, the air pressure must
be within specification.
CAUTION:
The compressed air supply must be equipped with an air
dryer.
7. The vacuum gauge will begin to rise and there will be an audible hissing noise. During this process open
the ball valve on the refill hose slightly. Coolant will be visible rising in the refill hose. Once the refill hose is
full of coolant, close the ball valve. This will purge any air trapped in the refill hose.
8. Continue to draw the vacuum until the gauge reaches 28 inches
of vacuum. The gauge may not reach 28 inches in high altitude
locations, refer to the vacuum specifications based on the alti-
tude above sea level.
9. When the vacuum gauge has reached the specified amount, disconnect the air hose and wait 20 seconds
to see if the system loses any vacuum. If the vacuum level drops, perform any necessary repairs to the
system and repeat steps 6 - 8 to bring the vacuum to the specified amount. Recheck for any leaks.
10. Place the coolant container (with the refill hose inserted) at the same level as the top of the radiator. Then
open the ball valve on the refill hose so the coolant will be drawn up to fill the cooling system. The cooling
system is full when the vacuum gauge reads zero.
CAUTION:
Do not allow the coolant container to get too low when filling, to avoid air from being drawn into
the cooling system.
11. Remove the Tool from the radiator neck opening and install the radiator cap.
12. Remove the non-vented reservoir cap.
13. Fill the cooling system reservoir tank to the specified level. Run the engine to warm up the cooling system
and top up the system as necessary before installing the vented reservoir cap.
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Drain the water from the engine cooling system. Refer to CO-9, "Changing Engine Coolant" . Tool number : KV991J0070 (J-45695)
Cooling system capacity
(with reservoir): Refer to MA-10, "
Fluids
and Lubricants" .

STEERING WHEEL
On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceINFOID:0000000003532824
CHECKING CONDITION OF INSTALLATION
• Check installation condition of steering gear assembly, front suspension, axle and steering column.
• Check if movement exists when steering wheel is moved up and down, to the left and right and to the axial
direction.
• Check if the mounting nuts for steering gear assembly are loose.
Refer to PS-15
.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL PLAY
1. Turn tires straight ahead, start engine, then turn steering wheel to the left and right lightly, and measure
steering wheel movement on the outer circumference when steering wheel is turned up to the point where
tires start moving.
CHECKING NEUTRAL POSITION ON STEERING WHEEL
• Check neutral position on steering wheel after confirming that front wheel alignment is correct. Refer to FSU-
6, "Front Wheel Alignment" .
1. Turn tires straight ahead, check if steering wheel is in the neutral position.
2. If it is not in the neutral position, remove steering wheel and reinstall it correctly.
3. If the neutral position cannot be attained by repositioning the steering wheel two teeth or less on steering
stem, loosen tie-rod lock nuts of steering outer sockets, then adjust tie-rods by the same amount in the
opposite direction.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
1. Park vehicle on a level, dry surface and set parking brake.
2. Start engine.
3. Bring power steering fluid up to operating temperature of 60° – 80°C (140° – 176°F).
4. Tires need to be inflated to specified pressure. Refer to WT-28, "
Tire".
5. Check steering wheel turning force using Tool when steering
wheel has been turned 360° from the neutral position.
6. If steering wheel turning force is out of specification, inspect
steering column. Refer to PS-13, "
Disassembly and Assembly" .
7. If steering column meets specification, repair steering gear.
Refer to PS-17, "
Disassembly and Assembly". End play of the axial direction for steering wheel : 0 mm (0 in)

If the noise can be duplicated easily during the test drive, to help identify the source of the noise, try to dupli-
cate the noise with the vehicle stopped by doing one or all of the following:
1) Close a door.
2) Tap or push/pull around the area where the noise appears to be coming from.
3) Rev the engine.
4) Use a floor jack to recreate vehicle "twist".
5) At idle, apply engine load (electrical load, half-clutch on M/T model, drive position on A/T model).
6) Raise the vehicle on a hoist and hit a tire with a rubber hammer.
• Drive the vehicle and attempt to duplicate the conditions the customer states exist when the noise occurs.
• If it is difficult to duplicate the noise, drive the vehicle slowly on an undulating or rough road to stress the
vehicle body.
CHECK RELATED SERVICE BULLETINS
After verifying the customer concern or symptom, check ASIST for Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) related
to that concern or symptom.
If a TSB relates to the symptom, follow the procedure to repair the noise.
LOCATE THE NOISE AND IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE
1. Narrow down the noise to a general area. To help pinpoint the source of the noise, use a listening tool
(Chassis Ear: J-39570, Engine Ear: J-39565 and mechanic's stethoscope).
2. Narrow down the noise to a more specific area and identify the cause of the noise by:
• Removing the components in the area that you suspect the noise is coming from.
Do not use too much force when removing clips and fasteners, otherwise clips and fastener can be broken
or lost during the repair, resulting in the creation of new noise.
• Tapping or pushing/pulling the component that you suspect is causing the noise.
Do not tap or push/pull the component with excessive force, otherwise the noise will be eliminated only tem-
porarily.
• Feeling for a vibration with your hand by touching the component(s) that you suspect is (are) causing the
noise.
• Placing a piece of paper between components that you suspect are causing the noise.
• Looking for loose components and contact marks.
Refer to RF-6, "
Generic Squeak and Rattle Troubleshooting" .
REPAIR THE CAUSE
• If the cause is a loose component, tighten the component securely.
• If the cause is insufficient clearance between components:
- Separate components by repositioning or loosening and retightening the component, if possible.
- Insulate components with a suitable insulator such as urethane pads, foam blocks, felt cloth tape or ure-
thane tape. A NISSAN Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980) is available through your authorized NISSAN Parts
Department.
CAUTION:
Do not use excessive force as many components are constructed of plastic and may be damaged.
Always check with the Parts Department for the latest parts information.
