4. Install the Tool by installing the radiator cap adapter onto the
radiator neck opening. Then attach the gauge body assembly
with the refill tube and the venturi assembly to the radiator cap
adapter.
5. Insert the refill hose into the coolant mixture container that is
placed at floor level. Make sure the ball valve is in the closed
position.

Use Genuine NISSAN Long Life Anti-freeze coolant or equiv-
alent, mixed 50/50 with distilled water or demineralized water.
Refer to MA-11, "
ANTI-FREEZE COOLANT MIXTURE
RATIO" .
6. Install an air hose to the venturi assembly, the air pressure must
be within specification.
CAUTION:
The compressed air supply must be equipped with an air
dryer.
7. The vacuum gauge will begin to rise and there will be an audible hissing noise. During this process open
the ball valve on the refill hose slightly. Coolant will be visible rising in the refill hose. Once the refill hose is
full of coolant, close the ball valve. This will purge any air trapped in the refill hose.
8. Continue to draw the vacuum until the gauge reaches 28 inches
of vacuum. The gauge may not reach 28 inches in high altitude
locations, refer to the vacuum specifications based on the alti-
tude above sea level.
9. When the vacuum gauge has reached the specified amount, disconnect the air hose and wait 20 seconds
to see if the system loses any vacuum. If the vacuum level drops, perform any necessary repairs to the
system and repeat steps 6 - 8 to bring the vacuum to the specified amount. Recheck for any leaks.
10. Place the coolant container (with the refill hose inserted) at the same level as the top of the radiator. Then
open the ball valve on the refill hose so the coolant will be drawn up to fill the cooling system. The cooling
system is full when the vacuum gauge reads zero.
CAUTION:
Do not allow the coolant container to get too low when filling, to avoid air from being drawn into
the cooling system.
11. Remove the Tool from the radiator neck opening and install the radiator cap.
12. Remove the non-vented reservoir cap.
13. Fill the cooling system reservoir tank to the specified level. Run the engine to warm up the cooling system
and top up the system as necessary before installing the vented reservoir cap.
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Drain the water from the engine cooling system. Refer to MA-12, "DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT" .
2. Fill the radiator and the reservoir tank (to the “MAX” line), with water. Reinstall the radiator cap and leave
the vented reservoir cap off.Tool number : KV991J0070 (J-45695)

CHECKING CONDITION OF INSTALLATION

Check installation condition of steering gear assembly, front suspension, axle and steering column.

Check if movement exists when steering wheel is moved up and down, to the left and right and to the axial
direction.

Check if the mounting nuts for steering gear assembly are loose.
Refer to PS-15, "
POWER STEERING GEAR AND LINKAGE" .
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL PLAY
1. Turn tires straight ahead, start engine, then turn steering wheel to the left and right lightly, and measure
steering wheel movement on the outer circumference when steering wheel is turned up to the point where
tires start moving.
CHECKING NEUTRAL POSITION ON STEERING WHEEL

Check neutral position on steering wheel after confirming that front wheel alignment is correct. Refer to
FSU-6, "
Front Wheel Alignment" .
1. Turn tires straight ahead, check if steering wheel is in the neutral position.
2. If it is not in the neutral position, remove steering wheel and reinstall it correctly.
3. If the neutral position cannot be attained by repositioning the steering wheel two teeth or less on steering
stem, loosen tie-rod lock nuts of steering outer sockets, then adjust tie-rods by the same amount in the
opposite direction.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
1. Park vehicle on a level, dry surface and set parking brake.
2. Start engine.
3. Bring power steering fluid up to operating temperature of 60° – 80°C (140° – 176°F).
4. Tires need to be inflated to specified pressure. Refer to WT-33, "
Tire" .
5. Check steering wheel turning force using Tool when steering
wheel has been turned 360° from the neutral position.
6. If steering wheel turning force is out of specification, inspect
steering column. Refer to PS-11, "
INSPECTION AFTER
REMOVAL" .
7. If steering column meets specification, repair steering gear.
Refer to PS-17, "
Disassembly and Assembly" .
CHECKING FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE
When checking front wheel turning angle, refer to FSU-8, "FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE" . End play of the axial direction for steering wheel : 0 mm (0 in)

a. To avoid damaging inner rack oil seal, wrap an OHP sheet
[approximately 70 mm (2.76 in) × 100 mm (3.94 in)] around rack
teeth. Place oil seal on sheet. Then, pull oil seal along with OHP
sheet until they pass the toothed section of rack, then remove
sheet.
b. Insert rack oil seal (inner) to piston (rack Teflon® ring) position
and push retainer to adjust screw side with fingers lightly. Then
make rack move in gear housing assembly and install rack oil
seal (inner) to fit with gear housing assembly.
c. When installing outer rack oil seal, cover the end of rack with an
OHP sheet [70 mm (2.76 in) × 100 mm (3.94 in)]. It will avoid
damaging rack oil seal. Then place oil seal on sheet. Pull rack oil
seal along with OHP sheet until they pass rack end, then
remove sheet.
d. Install end cover assembly to rack, move it to gear housing assembly.
5. Using a 45 mm (1.77 in) open head wrench or suitable tool,
tighten end cover assembly to specification.
CAUTION:
Do not damage rack surface. If it is damaged, it may cause
oil leaks. Replace rack assembly.

CAUTION:
Do not reuse boot clamps.
22. Install cylinder tubes to gear housing assembly.
23. Install lock nut and outer socket to inner socket.
24. Tighten lightly tie-rod in specified length “L”, then tighten lock nut
at specified torque. Refer to PS-17, "

bly" . Reconfirm if tie-rod length is within limit of specified length
“L”.
CAUTION:
Perform toe-in adjustment after this procedure. Length
achieved after toe-in adjustment is not necessarily the
