2007 NISSAN 350Z differential

RFD-56
REAR FINAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
2. Install side gear and thrust washer into differential case B.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the circular clip is installed to side gear.
3. Install pinion mate assembly (pinion mate shaft, pinion mate
gears and pinion mate thrust washers) into differential case B.
CAUTION:
The pinion mate shaft groove side shall be installed to side
gear.
4. Install viscous coupling into differential case B.
5. Install side gear thrust washer with the same thickness as the
ones installed prior to disassembly or reinstall the old ones on
the viscous coupling.
6. Align the matching marks and install differential case A into dif-
ferential case B.
7. Measure side gear end play. If necessary, select the appropriate
side gear thrust washer. Refer to RFD-48, "
Differential Side
Gear Clearance" .
8. Align the matching mark of differential case with the mark of
drive gear, then place drive gear.
9. Apply thread locking sealant into the thread hole of drive gear.

Use Genuine High Strength Thread Locking Sealant or
equivalent. Refer to GI-45, "
Recommended Chemical
Products and Sealants" .
CAUTION:
Drive gear back and threaded holes shall be cleaned and
degreased sufficiently.

10. Install drive gear on the mounting bolts, and then tighten to the
specified torque. Refer to RFD-39, "
COMPONENTS" .
CAUTION:

Tighten bolts in a crisscross fashion.

After tightening the bolts to the specified torque, tighten
the bolts additionally by turning the bolts 31 to 36
degrees.
11. Press side bearing inner races to differential case, using the drift
and the base.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse side bearing inner race.
12. Install differential case assembly with side bearing outer races
into gear carrier.
13. Measure side bearing preload. If necessary, select the appropri-
ate side bearing adjusting washers. Refer to RFD-49, "
Side
Bearing Preload" .
14. Insert selected left and right side bearing adjusting washers in
place between side bearings and gear carrier.
15. Align matching marks on bearing cap with that on gear carrier.
16. Install bearing caps and tighten bearing cap mounting bolts to
the specified torque. Refer to RFD-39, "
COMPONENTS" .
