Checking Fuel LineINFOID:0000000001327104
Inspect fuel lines, fuel filler cap and fuel tank for improper attach-
ment, leaks, cracks, damage, loos
e connections, chafing or deterio-
ration.
If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts.
General PrecautionINFOID:0000000001327105
WARNING:
When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following.
• Put a “CAUTION: FLAMMABLE” sign in the workshop.
 Be sure to work in a well ventila ted area and furnish workshop with a CO
2 fire extinguisher.
 Do not smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from the work area.
CAUTION:
 Use gasoline required by the regulations for octane number. Refer to GI-5, "
Precaution for Fuel
(Unleaded Premium Gasoline Recommended)".
 Before removing fuel line parts, carry out the following procedures:
- Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof containe r and put the lid on securely. Keep the container in
safe area.
- Release fuel pressure from th e fuel lines. Refer to EC-87, "
Fuel Pressure Check" (VQ35DE) or EC-
665, "Fuel Pressure Check" (VK45DE).
- Disconnect negative battery terminal.
 Always replace O-ring and clamps with new ones.
 Do not kink or twist tubes when they are being installed.
 Do not tighten hose clamps excessi vely to avoid damaging hoses.
 After connecting fuel tube qu ick connectors, make sure quick
connectors are secure.
Ensure that connector and resin tube do not contact any adja-
cent parts.
 After installing tubes, make su re there is no fuel leakage at
connections in the following steps.
- Apply fuel pressure to fuel li nes with turning ignition switch
“ON” (with engine stopped). Th en check for fuel leaks at con-
nections.
- Start engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at connec- tions.
 Use only a genuine NISSAN fuel filler cap as a replacement. If
an incorrect fuel filler cap is used, the “MIL” may come on.
 For servicing “Evaporative Emi ssion System” parts, refer to
EC-40, "
Description" (VQ35DE) or EC-618, "Description"
(VK45DE).
 For servicing“On Board Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVR)”
parts, refer to EC-46, "
System Description" (VQ35DE) or EC-
624, "System Description" (VK45DE).

DISASSEMBLY
NOTE:
Make sure piston rod on strut is not damaged when removing components from strut assembly.
1. Install strut attachment (SST) to strut and fix it in a vise. CAUTION:
When installing strut attachment (SST) to strut, wrap a shop
cloth around strut to protect it from damage.
2. Using a spring compressor (commercial service tool), compress coil spring between spring upper seat and spring lower seat (on
strut) until coil spring is free.
CAUTION:
Be sure spring compressor (commercial service tool) is
securely attached to coil sp ring. Compress coil spring.
3. After making sure coil spring is free between spring upper seat and spring lower seat of strut, then remove piston rod lock nut.
4. Remove mounting insulator, mounting insulator bracket, mount- ing bearing, spring upper seat, spring upper rubber seat, bound
bumper. Then remove coil spring and spring lower rubber seat
from strut.
5. Gradually release spring compressor (commercial service tool), and remove coil spring. CAUTION:
Loosen spring compressor whil e making sure coil spring attachment position does not move.
6. Remove strut attachment (SST) from strut.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Strut Inspection

PRECAUTIONS
 To prevent damage to rubber hose, do not pry off rubber hose withtapered tool or screwdriver.
 To reinstall the rubber hose securely, make sure that hose insertion length and orientation is correct. (If tube is equipped with hose
stopper, insert rubber hose into tube until it butts up against hose
stopper.)
HOSE CLAMPING
 If old rubber hose is re-used, install hose clamp in its original posi-tion (at the indentation where the old clamp was). If there is a trace
of tube bulging left on the old rubber hose, align rubber hose at
that position.
 Discard old clamps; replace with new ones.
 After installing plate clamps, apply force to them in the direction of the arrow, tightening rubber hose equally all around.
Precaution for Engine OilsINFOID:0000000001325660
Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. Try to avoid direct skin contact
with used oil.
If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
HEALTH PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS
 Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly used engine oils.
 Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where practicable.
 Do not put oily rags in pockets.
 Avoid contaminating clothes, pa rticularly underpants, with oil.

SERVICE INFORMATION FOR ELECTRICAL INCIDENT
 Clean as required to assure good contact.
 Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
 Inspect for “add-on” accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
 If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure all of thewires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are cased in one eye-
let make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
For detailed ground distribution information, re fer to “Ground Distribution” in PG section.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance. A voltage
drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resist ance with DMM, contact by a single strand of wire will
give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circui t. When the circuit operates, this single strand of wire
is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high resistance to the current. This will be picked
up as a slight voltage drop.
Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
 Undersized wiring (single strand example)
 Corrosion on switch contacts
 Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
 Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the ci rcuit you want to check. The positive lead of the
DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
 Operate the circuit.
 The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to “push” current through that part of the circuit.
