Temporarily tighten all of alternator bolt and nuts. And then
tighten them in numerical order shown in the figure.
Be sure to tighten “B” terminal nut carefully.
Install alternator and check tension of belt. Refer to EM-12, "
Checking".
For this model, the power generation voltage variable control system that controls the power gener-
ation voltage of the alternator has been adopted. Therefore, the power generation voltage variable
control system operation inspection should be performed after replacing the alternator, and then
make sure that the system operates normally. Refer to CHG-20, "
Inspection Procedure".
Disassembly and AssemblyINFOID:0000000003860540
DISASSEMBLY
Rear bracket assembly
NOTE:
Rear bracket assembly may be hard to remove because a ring is
used to lock outer race of rear bearing. To facilitate removal of rear
bracket assembly, heat only the bearing box section until the temper-
ature increases to approximately 30°C (86°F) with a soldering iron
(200W capacity).
CAUTION:
Never use a heat gun, as if can damage diode assembly.
Front Cover
1. Set rotor to the vise.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the rotor.
Use copper plate or thick cloth for rotor in the vise.
2. Remove pulley cap, using suitable tool.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000003801896
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SRS AIRBAG” and “SEAT BELT” of this
Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the “SRS AIRBAG”.
Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
Liquid GasketINFOID:0000000003793163
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING
After removing mounting nuts and bolts, separate the mating sur-
f a c e u s i n g t h e s e a l c u t t e r [ S S T: K V 1 0 1111 0 0 ( J37228)] (A) and
remove old liquid gasket sealing.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
Tap (B) the seal cutter [SST: KV10111100 (J37228)] to insert it, and
then slide (C) it by tapping on the side as shown in the figure.
In areas where seal cutter [SST: KV10111100 (J37228)] is difficult
to use, use a plastic hammer to lightly tap the parts, to remove it.
CAUTION:
If for some unavoidable reason tool such as a screwdriver is
used, be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Using a scraper (A), remove old liquid gasket adhering to the liq-
uid gasket application surface and the mating surface.
Remove liquid gasket completely from the groove of the liquid
gasket application surface, mounting bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Wipe the liquid gasket application surface and the mating sur-
face with white gasoline (lighting and heating use) to remove
adhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.
