RotationNLS00088

Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service inter-
vals. Refer to MA-4, "
GENERAL MAINTENANCE" .

Do not include the spare tire when rotating the tires.
CAUTION:

When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.

Be careful not to tighten wheel nut at torque exceeding the
criteria for preventing strain of disc rotor.

Use NISSAN genuine wheel nuts for aluminum wheels.
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-10, "
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.

PEDAL STROKE

Operate parking brake pedal with a force of 196 N (20 kg, 44 lb), make sure pedal stroke is within the
specified number of notches. (Check it by listening and counting ratchet clicks.)
INSPECT COMPONENTS

Make sure that the mounting conditions (looseness, backlash, etc.) of each component are normal.

Check the following:
–Device assembly for bend, damage and cracks. Replace if there are.
–Cables and equalizer for wear and damage. Replace if there are.
–Parking brake switch. Replace if it does not work correctly.
ADJUSTMENT

To perform adjustment operations, remove rear tires from vehicle with power tool.
1. Insert a deep socket wrench onto adjusting nut. Rotate adjusting
nut to fully loosen cable, and then release parking brake pedal.
2. Secure disc rotor to hub using wheel nut so as not to tilt disc
rotor.
3. Remove adjuster hole plug installed on the disc rotor. Turn the
adjuster in direction “A” using a flat-bladed screwdriver as
shown, until disc rotor is locked. Turn the adjuster in the oppo-
site direction by 5 or 6 notches after locking.
4. Rotate disc rotor to make sure that there is no drag. Install the
adjuster hole plug.
5. Adjust parking brake cable with the following procedure.
a. Operate parking brake pedal 10 or more times with the force of
full stroke.
b. Rotate adjusting nut to adjust parking brake pedal stroke using a
deep socket wrench.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse adjusting nut after removing it.
c. Operate parking brake pedal with a force of 196 N (20 kg, 44 lb), make sure the pedal stroke is within the
specified number of notches. (Check it by listening and counting ratchet clicks.)
d. Make sure that there is no drag on rear brake with parking brake pedal completely released.Pedal stroke : 3 - 4 notches
