rotating drive housing assembly.

Apply the specified amount of grease into the boot inside from
large diameter side of boot.

Install the boot securely into grooves (indicated by “*” marks)
shown in the figure.

CAUTION:

If grease adheres to the boot mounting surface (indicated
by “*” mark) on the housing assembly or joint sub-assem-
bly, boot may be removed. Remove all grease from the boot
mounting surface.

10. To prevent the deformation of the boot, adjust the boot installa-

tion length (L) to the specified value shown below by inserting
the suitable tool into inside of the boot from the large diameter
side of the boot and discharging the inside air.

CAUTION:

• If the boot installation length exceeds the standard, it may cause breakage of boot.
• Be careful not to touch the inside of the boot with a tip of tool.

11. Secure the large and small ends of the boot with boot bands

using the boot band crimping tool (A) [SST: KV40107300 (

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

• Move joint up/down, left/right, and in the axial directions. Check for motion that is not smooth and for signifi-

cant looseness.

• Check boot for cracks, damage, and leakage of grease.
• Disassemble drive shaft and exchange malfunctioning part if there

is a non-standard condition.

INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY

Shaft

Check shaft for runout, cracks, or other damage. Replace if necessary.

Dynamic Damper

Check damper for cracks or wear. Replace if necessary.

Joint Sub-Assembly (Wheel Side)

Check the following:
• Joint sub-assembly for rough rotation and excessive axial looseness.
• The inside of the joint sub-assembly for entry of foreign material.
• Joint sub-assembly for compression scars, cracks, and fractures inside of joint sub-assembly.
Replace joint sub-assembly if there are any non-standard conditions of components.

Housing Assembly (Transaxle Side)

Replace housing assembly if there is scratching or wear of housing assembly roller contact surface.

Link Shaft (Right side)

Check shaft for runout, cracks, or other damage. Replace if necessary.

Support Bearing (Right Side)

Make sure wheel bearing rolls freely and is free from noise, cracks, pitting or wear. Replace support bearing if
there are any non-standard conditions.

Support Bearing Bracket (Right Side)

Check for bending, cracks, or damage. Replace support bearing bracket if there are any non-standard condi-
tions.

WARNING:

When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following.
• Put a “CAUTION: FLAMMABLE” sign in the workshop.
• Be sure to work in a well ventilated area and furnish workshop with a CO

fire extinguisher.

• Never smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from the work area.

CAUTION:

• Use gasoline required by the regulations for octane number. Refer to

GI-35, "Fuel"

• Before removing fuel line parts, perform out the following procedures:
- Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put the lid on securely. Keep the container in

safe area.

- Release fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to

EC-517, "Inspection"

- Disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal.
• Always replace O-ring and clamps with new ones.
• Never kink or twist tubes when they are being installed.
• Never tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging hoses.
• After installing tubes, check there is no fuel leakage at connections in the following steps.
- Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). Then check

for fuel leakage at connections.

- Start engine and rev it up and check for fuel leakage at connections.
• Use only a genuine NISSAN fuel filler cap as a replacement. If an incorrect fuel filler cap is used, the

“MIL” may come on.

• For servicing “On Board Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVR)” parts, refer to
