4. Remove the snap ring, then remove the ball cage, steel ball,
inner race assembly from the drive shaft.
5. Remove the boot from the drive shaft.
6. Remove any old grease on the housing using paper towels.
Wheel Side
1. Mount the drive shaft in a vise.
CAUTION:
When mounting the drive shaft in a vise, use copper or aluminum plates between the vise and the
drive shaft.
2. Remove the boot bands, then remove the boot from the joint sub-assembly.
3. Screw a suitable drive shaft puller 30 mm (1.18 in) or more into
the threaded part of the joint sub-assembly. Pull the joint sub-
assembly off of the drive shaft as shown.
NOTE:
Align the sliding hammer and drive shaft and remove the joint
sub-assembly by pulling straight out.
CAUTION:
• If the joint sub-assembly cannot be removed after five or
more attempts, replace the drive shaft and joint sub-
assembly as a set.
4. Remove the boot from the drive shaft.
5. Remove the circlip from the drive shaft.
6. While rotating the ball cage, remove any old grease from the joint sub-assembly using paper towels.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Drive Shaft
• Replace the drive shaft if there is any runout, cracking, or other damage.
Joint Sub-assembly
• Check for any rough rotation or unusual axial looseness.
• Clean any foreign material from inside the joint sub-assembly.
• Check for any compression scars, cracks, or fractures.
CAUTION:
If any defective conditions are found in the joint sub-assembly components, replace the entire joint
sub-assembly.
Sliding Joint Side Housing
• Check for any compression scars, cracks, fractures, or unusual wear on the ball rolling surface.
• Check for any damage to the drive shaft screws.
• Check for any deformation of the boot installation components.
Ball Cage
• Check the sliding surface for any compression scars, cracks, or fractures.
Steel Ball
• Check for any compression scars, cracks, fractures, or unusual wear.

TOW TRUCK TOWING
Tow Truck TowingINFOID:0000000003531499
WARNING:
• Never get under the vehicle while it is supported only by the jack. Always use safety stands to sup-
port the frame when you have to get under the vehicle.
• Place wheel chocks at both front and back of the wheels on the ground.
CAUTION:
• All applicable State or Provincial (in Canada) laws and local laws regarding the towing operation
must be obeyed.
• It is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid possible damage during towing operation.
Towing is in accordance with Towing Procedure Manual at dealer.
• Always attach safety chains before towing.
• When towing, make sure that the transmission, steering system and powertrain are in good order. If
any unit is damaged, dollies must be used.
• Never tow an automatic transmission model from the rear
(i.e., backward) with four wheels on the ground as this may
cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission.
2WD MODELS
INFINITI does not recommend towing automatic transmission
equipped vehicles with the drive wheels on the ground.
CAUTION:
• When towing with the front wheels on the ground: Turn the
ignition key to the OFF position and move the transmission
selector lever to N (neutral) position, turn the ignition key to
OFF position and secure the steering wheel in a straight
ahead position with a rope or similar device. Never place the
ignition key in the LOCK position. This will result in damage
to the steering lock mechanism.

INFINITI does not recommend towing automatic transmission
equipped vehicles with the drive wheels on the ground.
CAUTION:
• Never tow 4WD models with any of the wheels on the ground
as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the
transfer case and transmission.
Towing Point
CAUTION:
Never tow the vehicle using only the towing points. To avoid
damaging the vehicle body, use proper towing equipment when
towing.
Vehicle Recovery (Freeing a stuck vehicle)INFOID:0000000003531500
•Tow chains or cables must be attached only to the main structural members of the vehicle or the
towing hooks (if so equipped). Otherwise, the vehicle body will be damaged.
•Use the towing hook (if so equipped) only to free a vehicle stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc. Never tow
the vehicle for a long distance using only the towing hook.
•The towing hook is under tremendous force when used to free a stuck vehicle. Never pull the hook at
an angle.
•Always pull the cable straight out from the front or rear of the vehicle.
•Pulling devices should be routed so they do not touch any part of the suspension, steering, brake, or
cooling systems.
•Pulling devices such as ropes or canvas straps are not recommended for use in vehicle towing or
recovery.
WARNING:
• Stand clear of a stuck vehicle.
• Do not spin your tires at high speed. This could cause them to explode and result in serious injury.
Parts of your vehicle could also overheat and be damaged.

HEADLAMP (FOR USA)
• to BCM terminal 38.
Ground is supplied
• to BCM terminal 67
• through grounds M57, M61 and M79, and
• to IPDM E/R terminals 38 and 59
• through grounds E9, E15 and E24.
Low Beam Operation
With the lighting switch in 2ND position, the BCM receives input requesting the headlamps to illuminate. This
input is communicated to the IPDM E/R across the CAN communication lines. The CPU of the IPDM E/R con-
trols the headlamp low relay coil. When energized, this relay directs power
• through 15A fuse (No. 41, located in the IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 54
• to front combination lamp RH terminal 5, and
• through 15A fuse (No. 40, located in the IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 52
• to front combination lamp LH terminal 5.
Ground is supplied
• to front combination lamp LH and RH terminal 1
• through grounds E9, E15 and E24.
With power and ground supplied, low beam headlamps illuminate.
High Beam Operation/Flash-to-Pass Operation
With the lighting switch in 2ND position and placed in HIGH or PASS position, the BCM receives input request-
ing the headlamp high beams to illuminate. This input is communicated to the IPDM E/R across the CAN com-
munication lines. The CPU of the combination meter controls the ON/OFF status of the HIGH BEAM indicator.
The CPU of the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp high relay coil. When energized, this relay directs power
• through 10A fuse (No. 34, located in the IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 56
• to front combination lamp RH terminal 6, and
• through 10A fuse (No. 35, located in the IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 55
• to front combination lamp LH terminal 6.
Ground is supplied
• to front combination lamp LH and RH terminal 2
• through grounds E9, E15 and E24.
With power and ground supplied, the high beam headlamps illuminate.
XENON HEADLAMP
Xenon type headlamp is adopted to the low beam headlamps. Xenon bulbs do not use a filament. Instead,
they produce light when a high voltage current is passed between two tungsten electrodes through a mixture
of xenon (an inert gas) and certain other metal halides. In addition to added lighting power, electronic control
of the power supply gives the headlamps stable quality and tone color.
Following are some of the many advantages of the xenon type headlamp.
• The light produced by the headlamps is a white color comparable to sunlight that is easy on the eyes.
• Light output is nearly double that of halogen headlamps, affording increased area of illumination.
• The light features a high relative spectral distribution at wavelengths to which the human eye is most sensi-
tive. This means that even in the rain, more light is reflected back from the road surface toward the vehicle,
for added visibility.
• Power consumption is approximately 25 percent less than halogen headlamps, reducing battery load.
BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
When the combination switch (lighting switch) is in the 2ND position (ON), and the ignition switch is turned
from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver control feature is activated.
Under this condition, the headlamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes, unless the combination switch (lighting
switch) position is changed. If the combination switch (lighting switch) position is changed, then the headlamps
are turned off.
AUTO LIGHT OPERATION
Refer to LT-34, "System Description" for auto light operation.
