• As a guide, if the fuel tank is full the fuel leve
l reaches or is less than the level on the fuel gauge as
shown, when approximately 34 (9 US gal, 7 1/2 Imp gal) of fuel is drained from a full fuel tank.
3. Open the fuel filler cap to release the pressure inside the fuel tank.
4. Release fuel pressure from fuel line. Refer to EC-182, "Work Procedure"
(QR25DE), EC-687, "Work Pro-
cedure" (VQ35DE).
5. Remove rear seat cushion. Refer to SE-36, "Removal and Installation - Seat Assembly"
.
6. Turn the four retainers (A) 90 ° in a clockwise direction and
remove the fuel pump inspection hole cover.
7. Disconnect the fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel pump assembly harness connector (C), EVAP hose quick connector
(A), and fuel feed hose (B) quick connector.
a. Disconnect the quick connectors as follows: • Hold the sides of the connector, push in tabs and pull out the
tube.
• If the connector and the tube are stuck together, push and pull
several times until they start to move. Then disconnect them
by pulling.
CAUTION:
• The tube can be removed when the tabs are completely depressed. Do not twist it more than necessary.
• Do not use any tools to remove the quick connector.
• Keep the resin tube away from heat. Be especially careful
when welding near the tube.
• Prevent acid liquid such as battery elect rolyte, from getting on the resin tube.
• Do not bend or twist the tube during installation and removal.
• Only when the tube is replaced, remove the remaining retainer on the tube or fuel level sensor,
fuel filter, and fuel pump assembly.
• When the tube or fuel level sen sor, fuel filter, and fuel pump assembly is replaced, also replace
the retainer with a new one (green colored retainer).
• To keep the connecting portio n clean and to avoid dam-
age and foreign materials, cover them completely with
plastic bags or something similar.

INSPECTION
Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, back lash) of each component and component conditions
(wear, damage) are normal.
LOWER BALL JOINT END PLAY
1. Set front wheels in a straight-ahead position. Do not depress brake pedal.
2. Place an iron bar or similar tool between upper link and steering knuckle.
3. Measure axial end play by prying it up and down.Refer to FSU-26, "Ball Joint"
.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage ball joint boot. Do not damage the installation position by applying
excessive force.
SHOCK ABSORBER
Check for oil leakage, damage and repl ace if malfunction is detected.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Description
Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
"Unladen conditions" means that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
General Information and Recommendations
• A four-wheel thrust alignment should be performed.
- This type of alignment is re commended for any NISSAN vehicle.
- The four-wheel "thrust" process helps ensure that t he vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel is
centered.
- The alignment rack itself should be capable of accepting any NISSAN vehicle.
- The rack should be checked to ensure that it is level.
• Make sure the machine is properly calibrated.
- Your alignment equipment should be regularly ca librated in order to give correct information.
- Check with the manufacturer of your specific equi pment for their recommended Service/Calibration Sched-
ule.
Preliminary Check
Check the following:
1. Tires for improper air pressure and wear.
2. Road wheels for runout. Refer to WT-60, "Road Wheel"
.
3. Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to FAX-27, "Wheel Bearing"
.
4. Transverse link ball joint axial end play. Refer to FSU-11, "Removal and Installation"
.
5. Shock absorber operation.
6. Each mounting part of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.
7. Each of suspension member, shock absorber, upper link and transverse link for cracks, deformation and other damage.
8. Vehicle height (posture).
Alignment Process
IMPORTANT:
Use only the alignment specificati ons listed in this Service Manual.
• When displaying the alignment settings, m any alignment machines use "indicators" Do not use these indi-
cators. : (Green/red, plus or minus, Go/No Go).
- The alignment specifications programmed into your machine that operate these indicators may not be cor-
rect.

Removal and Installation
INFOID:0000000009463661
REMOVAL
1. Partially remove the headlining (front edge). Refer to INT-30, "Removal and Installation".
2. Remove inside mirror. Refer to MIR-19, "Removal and Installation"
.
3. Remove the cowl top cover. Refer to EXT-24, "Removal and Installation"
.
4. Remove roof side moldings (LH/RH). Refer to EXT-36, "Removal and Installation"
.
5. Remove windshield glass using piano wire or pow er cutting tool (A) and an inflatable pump bag (B).
• Apply a protective tape around the windshield gla ss to protect the painted surface from damage.
• If the windshield glass is to be reused, mark the body and the glass with matching marks.
• Minimum adhesive coating amount 8 +3,- 0 g/100 mm (8 +3,-0 g/3.9 in) all around.
WARNING:
When cutting the glass from the vehicle, always wear safety glasses and heavy gloves to help pre-
vent glass splinters from entering your eyes or cutting your hands.
CAUTION:
• Be careful not to scratch the glass when removing.
• Do not set or stand the glass on its ed ge. Small chips may develop into cracks.
• Apply a protective tape around the windshield glass to protect the painted surface from damage.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• If repainting near the windshield flange area, pr otect the flange adhesion area by masking the flange.
• Use a Genuine NISSAN Urethane Adhesive Kit (if availabl e) or equivalent and follow the instructions fur-
nished with it.
• Adhesive shall be continuously applied to assure watert ightness. Glass installation shall be finished within
five minutes after applying the adhesive.
• The start and finish of the urethane adhesive application should be located at the bottom to assure water-
tightness.
• While the urethane adhesive is curing, open a door window . This will prevent the glass from being forced out
by passenger compartment air pressure when a door is closed.
• The molding must be installed securely to the windshield glass to avoid looseness and will leave no gap.
• Inform the customer that the vehicle should rema in stationary until the urethane adhesive has completely
cured (preferably 24 hours). Curing time varies with temperature and humidity.
WARNING:
• Keep heat and open flames away as primers and adhesive are flammable.
• The materials contained in the kit are harmful if swallowed, and may irritate skin and eyes. Avoid
contact with the skin and eyes.
• Use in an open, well ventilated location. Avoid br eathing the vapors. They can be harmful if inhaled.
If affected by vapor inhalation, imme diately move to an area with fresh air.
• Driving the vehicle before the urethane adhesive has completely cured may affect the performance
of the windshield in case of an accident.
CAUTION:
• Do not use an adhesive which is past its usable te rm. Shelf life of this product is limited to six
months after the date of manufacture. Carefully a dhere to the expiration or manufacture date printed
on the box or product.
• Keep primers and adhesive in a c ool, dry place. Ideally, they should be stored in a refrigerator.
• Do not leave primers or adhesive cartridge unattended with their caps open or off.

REPAIRING WATER LEAKS FOR SIDE WINDOW GLASS
• Leaks can be repaired without removing and reinstalling glass.
• If water is leaking between the urethane adhesive material and body or glass, determine the extent of leak-
age.
• This can be done by applying water to the side window area while pushing glass outward.
• To stop the leak, apply primer (if necessary) and then urethane adhesive to the leak point.
