7. Disconnect the high and low pressure piping from the steering gear assembly.
8. Remove steering hydraulic piping bracket bolts from the steering gear assembly.
9. Remove bolts and nuts of steering gear assembly, then remove steering gear assembly from vehicle.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse O-rings or copper sealing washers.
• When installing lower joint to steering gear assembly, follow the procedure listed below.
- Set rack of steering gear in the neutral position. NOTE:
To get the neutral position of rack, turn gear-sub a ssembly and measure the distance of inner socket, and
then measure the intermediat e position of the distance.
- Align rear cover cap projection (A) with the marking position (B) of
gear housing assembly.
- Install slit part of lower joint (C) aligning with the projection (A) of
rear cover cap (1). Make sure that the slit part of lower joint (C) is
aligned with both the projection (A) of rear cover cap (1) and the
marking position (B) of gear housing assembly.
• After installation, bleed air from the steering hydraulic system. Refer to ST-15, "Inspection"
.
• Perform final tightening of nuts and bolts on each part under
unladen conditions with tires on level ground when removing steer-
ing gear assembly.
• Check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-7, "Inspection and Adjust-
ment".
• Perform neutral position steering angle adjustment. Refer to BRC-58, "Work Procedure"

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000009951730
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severi ty of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service t he system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoper ative, 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 in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional act ivation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipm ent on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identi fied by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Un it or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or el ectric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a
hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor( s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers , always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the
battery and wait at least three mi nutes before performing any service.
Service Notice and Precautions for Hydrau lic Pump Electric Power Steering System
INFOID:0000000009460340
• Check each tire for proper air pressure and size. Refer to WT-60, "Tire".
• Verify that the steering system components are G enuine NISSAN parts and have been installed properly.
• Check the steering column for loose mounting bolts.
• Check the steering gear assembly for loose mounting bolts. Check the inner sockets and outer sockets for
damage or wear. Inspect the boots and seals for leakage of power steering fluid.
• Verify proper wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-7, "Inspection and Adjustment"
.
• Check for any damage, wear, or modification to the suspension and body that would result in increased
weight or an improper wheelarch height. Refer to FSU-26, "Wheelarch Height (Unladen*
1)".
• Check for proper battery voltage.
• Verify that all power steering pump assembly connections are clean and fully seated.
• Verify that only Genuine NISSAN E-PSF is used. Use of any power steering fluid other than Genuine NIS-
SAN E-PSF will prevent the power st eering system from proper operation.
• An audible high pitch noise may be heard from the engine compartment when the steering wheel is oper-
ated, particularly at low speeds such as a parking lot maneuver. This condition is not a malfunction, rather
normal system operation. Steering at low speeds or parking lot maneuvers demands higher hydraulic assis-
tance, resulting in larger power st eering pump load and increased system noise.
• The power steering pump is electrically controlled by the power steering control module.
• Before connecting or disconnecting the power steeri ng control module harness connectors, turn ignition
switch “OFF” and disconnect battery ground cable. Batter y voltage is applied to power steering control mod-
ule even if ignition switch is turned “OFF”.

TM-24
< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION >[CVT: RE0F10D]
STRUCTURE AND OPERATION
The groove width changes according to wrapping radius of
steel belt and pulley from low status to overdrive
status continuously with non-step. It is controlled wit h the oil pressures of primary pulley and secondary pulley.
Steel Belt
It is composed of multiple steel plates (A) and two steel rings (B)
stacked to a several number. The feature of this steel belt transmits
power with compression of the steel plate in contrast with transmis-
sion of power in pulling with a rubber belt. Friction force is required
with the pulley slope to transmit power from the steel plate. The force
is generated with the following mechanism:
Oil pressure applies to the secondary pulley to nip the plate. ⇒The
plate is pushed and extended outward. ⇒The steel ring shows with-
stands. ⇒Pulling force is generated on the steel ring. ⇒The plate of
the primary pulley is nipped between the pulley. ⇒Friction force is
generated between the steel belt and the pulley.
Therefore, responsibilities are divi ded by the steel plate that trans-
mits the power with compression and the steel ring that main tains necessary friction force. In this way, the
tension of the steel ring is distributed on the entire su rface and stress variation is limited, resulting in good
durability.
Pulley
The primary pulley (input shaft side) and the secondary pulley (output shaft side) have the shaft with slope
(fixed cone surface), movable sheave (movable cone surface that can move in the axial direction) and oil pres-
sure chamber at the back of the movable sheave.
