FRONT DRIVE SHAFT
4. Attach new circlip to shaft. Thread nut onto end of joint sub-
assembly and press fit using suitable tool.
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse circlip.
• Circlip must fit securely into shaft groove.
5. Insert the balance of new grease (Genuine NISSAN Grease or equivalent) listed below into housing from
large end of boot.
6. Install boot securely into grooves (indicated by * marks) as
shown.
CAUTION:
If there is grease on boot mounting surfaces (indicated by *
marks) of shaft and housing, boot may come off. Remove
all grease from surfaces.
7. Make sure boot installation length “L” is the specified length indi-
cated below. Insert a flat-bladed screwdriver or similar tool into
the large end of boot. Bleed air from boot to prevent boot defor-
mation.
CAUTION:
• Boot may break if boot installation length is outside the standard value.
• Be careful that screwdriver tip does not contact inside surface of boot.
8. Install new large and small boot bands securely using Tool.
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse boot bands.
• Secure boot band so that dimension “M” meets specifica-
tion as shown.
9. Rotate the joint sub assembly and confirm that the boot position is correct. If boot position is not correct,
remove the boot bands, reposition the boot and install new boot bands.

FUEL TANK
12. Support center of fuel tank (1) with transmission jack (A).
CAUTION:
Securely support the fuel tank with a suitable tool (B).
13. Remove fuel tank bands (RH and LH).
14. Lower transmission jack carefully to remove fuel tank while sup-
porting it by hand.
CAUTION:
Fuel tank may be in an unstable position because of the
shape of fuel tank bottom. Be sure to support tank securely.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
EVAP Canister
1. Check the connection for damage or any foreign materials.
2. Align the connector with the tube, then insert the connector straight into the tube until a “click” sound is
heard.
3. After connecting, make sure that the connection is secure.
• Pull the tube and the connector to make sure they are securely connected.
Fuel Tank Bands
Install the fuel tank bands in the proper position by referring to the identification stamp mark “R” and “L” on the
end
1. While supporting the fuel tank, install bolts 1, 3 and 4 to support
the tank, but do not fully tighten.
• ⇐ : Front
2. Install bolt 2 while positioning the fuel tank toward the front of
the vehicle. Tighten bolt 2 to specified torque.
3. Tighten bolts 1, 3 and 4 to specified torque.
Fuel Filler Hose
• Insert fuel filler hose to the length below.
• Be sure hose clamp is not placed on swelled area of fuel filler tube.

FRONT SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY
3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both tires at
the same height of hub center. These are measuring points.
4. Measure distance “A” (rear side).
5. Push vehicle slowly ahead to rotate wheels 180 degrees (1/2
turn).
CAUTION:
If wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn), try
the above procedure again from the beginning. Never push
vehicle backward.
6. Measure distance “B” (front side).
7. Use the formula below to calculate total toe-in.
• If the total toe-in is outside the specification, adjust toe-in by varying the length of between steering
outer socket and inner socket.
AFA050
SFA234AC
Total toe-in = A - B
For total toe-in specification, refer to FSU-16, "

Precaution for Multiport Fuel Injection System or Engine Control SystemINFOID:0000000001702427
• Before connecting or disconnecting any harness connector for the
multiport fuel injection system or ECM:
Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position.
Disconnect negative battery terminal.
Otherwise, there may be damage to ECM.
• Before disconnecting pressurized fuel line from fuel pump to injec-
tors, be sure to release fuel pressure.
• Be careful not to jar components such as ECM and mass air flow
sensor.
Precaution for HosesINFOID:0000000001702428
HOSE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
• To prevent damage to rubber hose, do not pry off rubber hose with
tapered 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.
