REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Removal
1. Remove rear propeller shaft.Refer to PR-9, "REMOVAL" .
2. Remove transfer from transmission (4WD models). Refer to TF-
109, "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION" .
3. Remove rear oil seal using a flat-bladed screwdriver.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to scratch rear extension assembly (2WD
models) or adapter case assembly (4WD models).
Installation
CAUTION:
After completing installation, check fluid leakage and fluid level. Refer to AT-1 3, "
Changing A/T Fluid"
,AT- 1 3 , "Checking A/T Fluid" .
1. As shown below, use a drift to drive rear oil seal into the exten-
sion case (2WD models) or adapter case (4WD models) until it
is flush.
CAUTION:

Apply ATF to rear oil seal.

Do not reuse rear oil seal
2. Install transfer to transmission (4WD models). Refer to TF-109,
"REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION" .
3. Install rear propeller shaft. Refer to PR-9, "

CAUTION:
When setting the transmission jack, be careful not to allow
it to collide against the drain plug.
13. Remove cross member with power tool.
14. Tilt the transmission slightly to keep the clearance between body
and transmission, and then disconnect air breather hose from charging pipe. Refer to AT- 2 5 3 , "
Removal
and Installation" .
15. Disconnect A/T assembly connector and transfer unit connector.
16. Remove A/T fluid indicator pipe.
17. Plug up openings such as the fluid charging pipe hole, etc.
18. Remove A/T assembly to engine bolts with power tool.
19. Remove A/T assembly from vehicle using Tool and a transmis-
sion jack.

Secure torque converter to prevent it from dropping.

Secure A/T assembly to a transmission jack.
NOTE:
The actual special service Tool may differ from Tool shown.
20. Remove transfer from A/T assembly. Refer to TF-109,

Revision: August 20072004 QX56
PERIODIC MAINTENANCEPFP:00026
Introduction of Periodic MaintenanceELS00100
Two different maintenance schedules are provided, and should be used, depending upon the conditions in
which the vehicle is mainly operated. After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, continue the periodic
maintenance at the same mileage or time intervals, whichever comes first.
Maintenance For Off-road Driving (4WD only)ELS0012H
After driving the vehicle off-road through sand, mud, or water; more frequent maintenance may be required for
the following items:
Brake pads and rotors
Brake lines and hoses
Rear final drive oil, transmission fluid, and transfer fluid
Steering linkage
Drive shafts
Engine air cleaner filter
In-cabin microfilters
Schedule 1ELS00101
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Abbreviations: R = Replace. I = Inspect. Correct or replace if necessary. [ ]: At the mileage intervals only Schedule 1Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedule 1 if your driving habits frequently includes
one or more of the following driving conditions:

Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).

Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) with outside temperatures
remaining below freezing.

Operating in hot weather in stop-and-go “rush hour” traffic.

Extensive idling and/or low speed driving for long distances, such as police,
taxi or door-to-door delivery use.

Driving in dusty conditions.

Driving on rough, muddy, or salt spread roads.

(1) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, inspect every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months. Replace drive belts if damaged.
(2) If operating mainly in dusty conditions, more frequent maintenance may be required.
(3) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, go to the FL section.
(4) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, replace every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months.
(5) If valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.
* Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by NISSAN for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perform
such maintenance in order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and intervals are
required.
