Tire RotationNLS00088
After rotation the tires, adjust the tire pressure.
Retighten the wheel nuts when the vehicle has been driven for
1,000 km (600 miles) (also in cases of a flat tire, etc.).
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.
Checking Brake Fluid Level and LeaksNLS00089
If fluid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.
Checking Brake Lines and CablesNLS0008A
Check brake fluid lines and parking brake cables for improper
attachment, leaks, chafing, abrasions, deterioration, etc.
Changing Brake FluidNLS0008B
1. Drain brake fluid from each bleed valve.
2. Refill until new brake fluid comes out from each bleed valve.
Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system to refill
brake fluid.
Refer to BR-11, "
Bleeding Brake System" .
Refill with recommended Genuine Nissan Super Heavy Duty
Brake Fluid or equivalent DOT 3 (US FMVSS No. 116).
Refer to MA-12, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .
Never reuse drained brake fluid.
Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.Tightening torque of wheel nut

STEERING COLUMN
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check each part of steering column assembly for damage or other malfunctions. Replace if there are.
Measure the length “L” as shown in the figure if vehicle has been
involved in a minor collision. Replace steering column assembly
if outside the standard.
Measure steering column rotating torque using preload gauge. Replace steering column assembly if out-
side the standard.
INSTALLATION OF STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY
Installation is the reverse order of removal. For tightening torque, refer to PS-13, "COMPONENTS" .
When installing upper joint, the angle which upper joint yoke (1)
forms with shaft center groove (A) should be at 90
.
Adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to BRC-6,
"Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Make sure that steering wheel operates smoothly by turning several times from full left stop to full right stop.

LINE" .
9. Remove EPS solenoid valve harness connector. Refer to PS-20, "
COMPONENTS" .
10. Remove rack stay (2WD) or front cross bar (AWD). Refer to FSU-8, "
Components" , FSU-25, "Compo-
nents" .
11. Remove mounting bolts and nuts of steering gear assembly, and then remove steering gear assembly
from vehicle.
INSTALLATION
Installation is the reverse order of removal. For tightening torque, refer to PS-18, "COMPONENTS" .
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 assembly and measure the distance of inner socket, and
then measure the intermediate 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 PS-8, "
Air Bleeding Hydraulic System" .
Perform final tightening of nuts and bolts on each part under
unladen conditions with tires on level ground when removing
steering gear assembly. Check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-
6, "Wheel Alignment Inspection" , FSU-23, "Wheel Alignment
Inspection" .
Adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor after checking wheel alignment. Refer to BRC-6, "Adjust-
ment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Make sure that steering wheel operates smoothly by turning several times from full left stop to full right stop.
