angle to drive shaft joint. Also be careful not to exces-
sively extend slide joint.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
• Move joint up, down, left, right, and in axial directi on. Check for any rough movement or significant loose-
ness.

WARNING:
When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following.
• Put a “CAUTION: INFLAMMABLE” sign in the workshop.
• Be sure to work in a well ventilate d 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:
• Before removing fuel line parts, carry out the following procedures:
- Put drained fuel in an explosi on-proof container and put the lid on securely. Keep the container in
safe area.
- Release fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-494, "
Fuel Pressure Check" .
- Disconnect the battery negative terminal.
• Always replace O-rings and clamps with new ones.
• Do not kink or twist hoses when they are being installed.
• After connecting the fuel t ube quick connectors, make sure
the quick connectors are secure.
Ensure that the connector and resin tube do not contact any
adjacent parts.
• After installing tubes, make su re there is no fuel leakage at
connections in the following steps.
- Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch
ON (with engine stopped). Th en check for fuel leaks at con-
nections.
- Start the engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at con-
nections.
• 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 Emission System” parts, refer to EC-498, "
Removal and Installation" .
• For servicing “On Board Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVR)”
parts, refer to EC-496, "
How to Detect Fuel Vapor Leakage" .

12. Remove the lock ring using Tool.
13. Remove the fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel pump assem-
bly. Remove and discard the fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel
pump assembly O-ring.
CAUTION:
• Do not bend the float arm during removal.
• Avoid impacts such as drop ping when handling the com-
ponents.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• For installation, use a new fuel level sens or, fuel filter, and fuel pump assembly O-ring.
• Connect the quick connector as follows:
- Check the connection for any damage or foreign materials.
- Align the connector with the pipe, then insert the c onnector straight into the pipe until a click is heard.
- After connecting the quick connector, make sure that the connec-
tion is secure by checking as follows:
- Pull the tube and the connector to make sure they are securely connected.
- Visually inspect the connector to make sure the two retainer tabs are securely connected.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Turn the ignition switch ON but do not start engi ne, then check the fuel pipes and hose connections for
leaks while applying fuel pressure to the system.
2. Start the engine and rev it above idle speed, then check t hat there are no fuel leaks at any of the fuel pipe
and hose connections. Tool number : — (J-46536)

5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the ″LOCK ″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of al l control units using CONSULT-III.

• When installing the rubber bushings, the final tightening must be done under unladen condition and with the
tires on level ground. Oil will shorten the life of the rubber bushings, so wipe off any spilled oil immediately.
• Unladen condition means the fuel tank, engine coolant and lubricants are at the full specification. The spare
tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions.
• After installing suspension components, check the wheel alignment.
• Lock nuts are not reusable. Always use new lock nuts for installation. New lock nuts are pre-oiled, do not
apply any additional lubrication.

• Make sure that no person is in front of the vehicle before pushing it.
1. Bounce the front of vehicle up and down to stabilize the vehicle height (posture).
2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both front tires at the same height as hub center as shown. These marks are
measuring points.
4. Measure the distance “A” on the rear side of the front tires as shown.
5. Push the vehicle slowly ahead to rotate the wheels 180 °
degrees (1/2 a turn).
CAUTION:
If the wheels have rotated more than 180 ° (1/2 turn), start
this procedure again from th e beginning. Never push the
vehicle backward.
6. Measure the distance “B” on the front side of the front tires at the
same marks as shown. Total toe-in is calculated as “A” – “B”.
7. Adjust the toe-in by varying the length of the steering outer socket.
a. Loosen the outer tie-rod lock nuts.
b. Adjust the toe-in by screwing the outer tie-rods in or out.
c. Tighten the outer tie-rod lock nuts to specification.
FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE
NOTE:
Check front wheel turning angle after the toe-in inspection.
1. Place front wheels on turning radius gauges in straight ahead position and rear wheels on stands so that vehicle can be level.
Check the maximum inner and outer wheel turning angles for LH
and RH road wheels.
2. Start engine and run at idle, turn steering wheel all the way right and left, measure the turning angle.
• Any turning angles are not adjustable. If any of steering anglesare out of the specification, check if the following parts are
worn or damaged.
