DISASSEMBLY
NOTE:
Explained here is how to disassemble with engine stand supporting transmission surface. When using differ-
ent type of engine stand, note with difference in steps and etc.
1. Remove engine assembly from vehicle, and separate front suspension member, transmission and front final drive from engine. Refer to EM-243, "
ENGINE ASSEMBLY" .
2. Remove the parts that may restrict installation of engine to widely use engine stand.
NOTE:
The procedure is described assuming that you use widely use engine holding the surface, to which trans-
mission is installed.
a. Remove drive plate.
Holding ring gear with ring gear stopper (SST).
Loosen mounting bolts diagonally order.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble drive plate.
Do not place drive plate with signal plate facing down.
When handling signal plate, take care not to damage or
scratch it.
Handle signal plate in a manner that prevents it from
becoming magnetized.
b. Remove engine rear plate.
3. Lift engine with hoist to install it onto widely use engine stand. CAUTION:
Use engine stand that has a load capacity [approximately 240 kg (529 lb) or more] large enough for
supporting the engine weight.
If the load capacity of stand is not adequate, remove the following parts beforehand to reduce the
potential risk of overturning stand.
13. Piston pin 14. Connecting rod bearing 15. Connecting rod bearing cap
16. Block heater protector 17. Connector cap 18. Cylinder block heater

31. O-ring 32. Rear oil seal 33. Rear oil seal retainer
A. Refererence: Installed on transmis-
sion B. Refer to

Removal and InstallationNIS001SO
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the mirror body.
REMOVAL
1. Remove the front door finisher. Refer to EI-36, "DOOR FINISHER" .
2. Remove the corner cover inner.
3. Remove the door mirror harness connector.
4. Remove the door mirror mounting nuts, and remove the door mirror assembly.
INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
Disassembly and AssemblyNIS001SP
DISASSEMBLY
1. Place the mirror body with mirror glass facing upward.
2. Put strip of protection tape on mirror body.
3. As shown in the figure insert a small flat-bladed screwdriver into the recess between mirror base (mirror holder) and mirror holder
bracket and push up pawls to remove mirror holder lower half
side.
NOTE:
When pushing up pawls do not attempt to use 1 recess only, be sure
to push up with both recesses.
Insert screwdriver into recesses, and push up while rotating (twist) to
make work easier.
4. Remove terminals of mirror heater attachment.

5. Lightly lift up lower side of mirror surface, and detach pawls of upper side from bracket as if pulling it out.
Remove mirror surface from mirror body.
NOTE:
Be certain not to allow grease on sealing agent in center of mirror body assembly (actuator) or back side of
mirror surface (mirror holder).
ASSEMBLY
1. Place mirror holder bracket and mirror body assembly (actuator) in a horizontal position.
2. Connect terminals of heater installed mirror.
3. Fit the upper pawls on the mirror face onto the mirror holder bracket first, then press the lower side of mirror face until a click
sound is heard to engage the lower pawls.
NOTE:
After installation, visually make sure lower pawls are securely
engaged from the bottom of mirror face.

Tires Check the pressure with a gauge, including the spare, at least once a month
and always prior to a long distance trips. Adjust to the specified pressure if
necessary. Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear. —
Wheel nuts When checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check for any
loose nuts. Tighten if necessary. —
Windshield Clean the windshield on a regular basis. Check the windshield at least every
six months for cracks or other damage. Repair as necessary. —

Wheel alignment and
balance If the vehicle pulls to either side while driving on a straight and level road, or if
you detect uneven or abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for wheel align-
ment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds, wheel
balancing may be needed. MA-33

Windshield wiper
blades Check for cracks or wear if they do not wipe properly. —
Doors and engine
hood Check that all doors and the engine hood operate smoothly as well as the
trunk lid and back hatch. Also make sure that all latches lock securely. Lubri-
cate if necessary. Make sure that the secondary latch keeps the hood from
opening when the primary latch is released.

streak. —
Windshield defroster Check that the air comes out of the defroster outlets properly and in sufficient
quantity when operating the heater or air conditioner. —
Steering wheel Check that it has the specified play. Be sure to check for changes in the steer-
ing condition, such as excessive play, hard steering or strange noises.
Free play: Less than 35 mm (1.38 in) —
Seats Check seat position controls such as seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc. to
make sure they operate smoothly and that all latches lock securely in every
position. Check that the head restrains move up and down smoothly and that
the locks (if equipped) hold securely in all latched positions. Check that the
latches lock securely for folding-down rear seatbacks. —

ENGINE MAINTENANCE (VQ35DE ENGINE)
Revision: 2006 July 2007 FX35/FX45
3. Remove reservoir tank as necessary, drain engine coolant and clean reservoir tank before installing.
4. Check drained engine coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration. If contaminated, flush the engine cooling system. Refer to CO-13, "
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM" .
REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Install reservoir tank if removed, and radiator drain plug.
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new O-ring.
If water drain plugs on cylinder block are removed, close and tighten them. Refer to EM-129,
"ASSEMBLY" .
2. Make sure that each hose clamp has been firmly tightened.
3. Remove air relief plug on heater hose.
4. Fill radiator, and reservoir tank if removed, to specified level.
Pour engine coolant through engine coolant filler neck
slowly of less than 2 (2-1/8 US qt, 1-3/4 lmp qt) a minute
to allow air in system to escape.
Use Genuine Nissan Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant or
equivalent mixed with water (distilled or demineralized).
Refer to MA-12, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .
When engine coolant overflows air relief hole on heater hose,
install air relief plug with new O-ring.
5. Install radiator cap.
6. Warm up until opening thermostat. Standard for warming-up time is approximately 10 minutes at 3,000 rpm.
Make sure thermostat opening condition by touching radiator hose (lower) to see a flow of warm water.
CAUTION:
Watch water temperature gauge so as not to overheat engine.
7. Stop the engine and cool down to less than approximately 50 °C (122 °F).
Radiator drain plug:
: 1.18 N·m (0.12 kg-m, 10 in-lb)

Cool down using fan to reduce the time.
If necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck with engine coolant.
8. Refill reservoir tank to “MAX” level line with engine coolant.
9. Repeat steps 4 through 7 two or more times with radiator cap installed until engine coolant level no longer drops.
10. Check cooling system for leaks with engine running.
11. Warm up the engine, and check for sound of engine coolant flow while running engine from idle up to 3,000 rpm with heater temperature controller set at several position between “COOL” and “WARM”.
Sound may be noticeable at heater unit.
12. Repeat step 11 three times.
13. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating step 4 through 7 until engine coolant level no longer drops.
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Install reservoir tank, and radiator drain plug.
If water drain plugs on cylinder block are removed, close and tighten them. Refer to EM-129,
"ASSEMBLY" .
2. Remove air relief plug on heater hose.
3. Fill radiator with water until water spills from the air relief hole, then close air relief plug. Fill radiator and reservoir tank with water and reinstall radiator cap.
4. Run the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
5. Rev engine two or three times under no-load.
6. Stop the engine and wait until it cools down.
7. Drain water from the system. Refer to CO-11, "
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT" .
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 until clear water begins to drain from radiator.
Checking Fuel LinesNLS00066
Inspect fuel lines, filler cap and tank for improper attachment, leaks,
cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterioration.
If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts. Radiator drain plug:
