Do not tighten at this step. This allows further tightening of side
bearing adjusters.
13. Tighten each side bearing adjuster alternately turning drive gear.
14. Check and adjust tooth contact, backlash, drive gear runout and total preload torque. Refer to FFD-16,
"Tooth Contact" , FFD-17, "Backlash" , FFD-15, "Drive Gear Runout" and FFD-15, "Total Preload Torque"
.
Recheck above items.

After adjusting tooth contact and backlash secure side bear-
ing adjuster with screws and tighten side bearing cap bolt to
the specified torque. Refer to FFD-14, "
COMPONENTS" .
15. Apply multi-purpose grease to the lips of the new side oil seal. Then drive the new side oil seal in evenly to the gear carrier using suitable tool.
CAUTION:

Do not reuse side oil seal.

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EBS00RBP
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER ”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:

To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.

Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.

Checking Fuel LinesEBS00M3Q
Inspect fuel lines, fuel filler cap and fuel tank for improper attach-
ment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterio-
ration.
If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts.
General PrecautionsEBS00M3R
WARNING:
When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following.

Put a “CAUTION: INFLAMMABLE” sign in the workshop.

Be sure to work in a well ventilated area and furnish workshop with a CO2 fire extinguisher.

Do not smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from the work area.
CAUTION:

Before removing fuel line parts, carry out the following procedures:
–Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put the lid on securely. Keep the container in
safe area.
–Release fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-80, "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
–Disconnect the battery negative terminal.

Always replace O-rings and clamps with new ones.

Do not kink or twist hoses when they are being installed.

Do not tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging
hoses.
Tighten high-pressure rubber hose clamp so that clamp
end is 3 mm (0.12 in) from hose end.
Tightening torque specifications are the same for all rubber
hose clamps.
Check that the screw does not contact adjacent parts.

After connecting the fuel tube quick connectors, make sure
the quick connectors are secure.
Ensure that the connector and resin tube do not contact
any adjacent parts.

After installing tubes, make sure there is no fuel leakage at
connections in the following steps.
–Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch
ON (with engine stopped). Then check for fuel leaks at con-
nections.
–Start the engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at
connections.

Use only a Genuine NISSAN fuel filler cap as a replacement.
If an incorrect fuel filler cap is used, the MIL may come on.

For servicing “Evaporative Emission System” parts, refer to
EC-32, "
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM" .

For servicing “On Board Refueling Vapor Recovery
(ORVR)” parts, refer to EC-39, "
ON BOARD REFUELING
VAPOR RECOVERY (ORVR)" .
