2008 NISSAN TEANA jacking points

EM-68
< REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION >
ENGINE ASSEMBLY
 Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.
 For engines not equipped with engine slingers, attach proper slingers and bolts described in PARTS
CATALOG.
CAUTION:
 Always be careful to work safely, avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.
 Never start working until exhaust system and engine coolant are cool enough.
 If items or work required are not covered by the engine section, refer to the applicable sections.
 Always use the support point specified for lifting.
 Use either 2-pole lift type or separate type lift as best you can. If board-on type is used for unavoid-
able reasons, support at the rear axle jacking point with transmission jack or similar tool before
starting work, in preparation for the backward shift of center of gravity.
 For supporting points for lifting and jacking point at rear axle, refer to GI-30, "
Garage Jack and
Safety Stand and 2-Pole Lift".

Removal
1. Use a manual lift table caddy (commercial service tool) or equiv-
alently rigid tool such as a transmission jack. Securely support
bottom of front suspension member.
CAUTION:
Put a piece of wood or something similar as the supporting
surface, secure a completely stable condition.

If turning the steering wheel is required with the battery disconnected or discharged, follow the procedure
below before starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables.
NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Turn the push-button ignition switch to ACC position.
(At this time, the steering lock will be released.)
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released with both battery cables discon-
nected and the steering wheel can be turned.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect both battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn
the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steering
wheel will lock when the push-button ignition switch is turned to LOCK position.)
6. Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000003852857
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.
General PrecautionsINFOID:0000000003852781
 Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time without
proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any inflammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any inflam-
mable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refrigerant gas,
etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area, be sure to prop-
erly ventilate the area before working with hazardous materials.
Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.
 Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire
blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. After jack-
ing up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety stands at
the points designated for proper lifting before working on the vehi-
cle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.
 When removing a heavy component such as the engine or tran-
saxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance and drop
them. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially
the brake tubes and master cylinder.
