WARNING:
• Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.
• For engines not equipped with en gine slingers, attach proper slingers and bolts as described in the
NISSAN Parts Catalog.
• Do not start working until exhau st system and coolant are cool.
CAUTION:
• If items or work required are not covered by the en gine main body section, follow the applicable pro-
cedures.
• Use the correct supporting points for lifting and jacking. Refer to GI-33, "Garage Jack and Safety
Stand".
• In removing the drive shafts, be careful not to damage any transaxle grease seals.
• Before separating the engine and transaxle, remove the crankshaft position sensor (POS).

CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE
4. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), installtwo balance weight sheets in line with each other as shown.
CAUTION:
Do not install one balance weight sheet on top another.
5. Start balancer machine again.
6. Install balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the bal- ancer machine indication position (angle).
CAUTION:
Do not install more than two balance weights.
7. Start balancer machine. Make sure that inner and outer residual imbalance values are 5 g (0.17 oz) each or below.
8. If either residual imbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.17 oz), repeat installation procedures.
TIRE ROTATION
• Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals.
Refer to MA-7, "FOR USA AND CANADA : Introduction of Periodic
Maintenance".
• When installing the wheel, tighten wheel nuts to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
• Do not include the T-type spare tire when rotating the tires.
• When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.
• Be careful not to tighten wheel nut at torque exceeding the criteria for preventing strain of disc rotor.
• Use NISSAN genuine wheel nuts for aluminum wheels.
• Perform the ID registration, after tire rotation. Refer to WT-25, "Work Procedure"
.
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND LEAKS
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND LEAKS : InspectionINFOID:0000000009464576
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
• Make sure that the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank is between
the MAX and MIN lines.
• Visually check around the reservoir tank for brake fluid leakage.
• If the brake fluid level is excessively low, check the brake system for leakage.
• If brake warning lamp remains illuminated after parking brake
pedal is released, check the brake system for brake fluid leakage.
BRAKE LINE
1. Check brake line (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration or other damage. Replace any damaged
parts.
