PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Service Notice or PrecautionsNDS00009
Check for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If matching marks are required,
be certain they do not interfere with the function of the parts when applied.
Overhaul should be done in a clean work area, it is preferable to work in dustproof area.
Before disassembly, using steam or white gasoline, completely remove sand and mud from the exterior of
the unit, preventing them from entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly.
Check appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace them
with a new ones if necessary.
Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time when the unit is disassembled.
In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If
tightening sequence is specified, observe it.
Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow-dry them.
Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
When applying sealant, remove the old sealant from the mounting surface; then remove any moisture, oil,
and foreign materials from the application and mounting surfaces.
Always use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components.
Avoid using cotton gloves or shop rags to prevent entering of lint.
During assembly, observe the specified tightening torque, and apply new gear oil, petroleum jelly, or multi-
purpose grease as specified for each vehicle, if necessary.

pinion.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse drive pinion lock nut.
5. Tighten to drive pinion lock nut, while adjust total preload torque.
CAUTION:
Adjust to the lower limit of the drive pinion lock nut tight-
ening torque first.
If the preload torque exceeds the specified value, replace
collapsible spacer and tighten it again to adjust. Do not
loosen drive pinion lock nut to adjust the preload torque.
6. Make a stamping for identification of front oil seal replacement
frequency. Refer to RFD-10, "

flange comes out sometimes from the shock of installing the RH side flange. [For R200V (with LSD)]
a. Attach the protector to side oil seal.
b. After the side flange is inserted and the serrated part of side
gear has engaged the serrated part of flange, remove the pro-
tector.Tool number A: ST3127S000 (J-25765-A)

Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
ASSEMBLY INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
Before inspection and adjustment, drain gear oil.
Total Preload Torque
1. Secure final drive assembly onto an attachment.
2. Remove side flanges.
3. Rotate drive pinion back and forth 2 to 3 times to check for unusual noise and rotation malfunction.
4. Rotate drive pinion at least 20 times to check for smooth opera-
tion of the bearing.
5. Measure total preload with the preload gauge.
NOTE:
Total preload torque = Pinion bearing preload torque + Side
bearing preload torque
If measured value is out of the specification, disassemble it to
check and adjust each part. Adjust the pinion bearing preload and side bearing preload.
Adjust the pinion bearing preload first, then adjust the side bearing preload.
Drive Gear Runout
1. Remove rear cover. Refer to RFD-24, "Differential Assembly" .
2. Fit a dial indicator to the drive gear back face.
3. Rotate the drive gear to measure runout.
If the runout is outside of the repair limit, check drive gear
assembly condition; foreign material may be caught between
drive gear and differential case, or differential case or drive gear
may be deformed, etc.
CAUTION:
Replace drive gear and drive pinion gear as a set.Tool number : KV38100800 (J-25604-01)
Tool number : ST3127S000 (J-25765-A)
Total preload torque:
2.85 – 3.75 N·m (0.29 – 0.38 kg-m, 26 – 33 in-lb)
PDIA0635E
When the preload torque is large
On pinion bearings: Replace the collapsible spacer.
On side bearings: Use thinner side bearing adjusting washers by the same amount to
each side. Refer to RFD-60, "
Side Bearing Adjusting Washer" .
When the preload is small
On pinion bearings: Tighten the drive pinion lock nut.
On side bearings: Use thicker side bearing adjusting washers by the same amount to
each side. Refer to RFD-60, "
Side Bearing Adjusting Washer" .
Runout limit: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in) or less

4. Install bearing caps in their correct locations and tighten bearing
cap mounting bolts to the specified torque. Refer to RFD-19,
"COMPONENTS" .
5. Turn the carrier several times to seat the bearings.
6. Measure the turning torque of the carrier at the drive gear
mounting bolts with a spring gauge.
7. If the turning torque is outside the specification, use a thicker/
thinner side bearing adjusting washer to adjust. Refer to RFD-
60, "Side Gear Thrust Washer" .
CAUTION:
Select a side bearing adjusting washer for right and left
individually.
8. Record the total amount of washer thickness required for the correct carrier side bearing preload.
Pinion Gear Height
1. Make sure all parts are clean and that the bearings are well
lubricated.
2. Assemble the pinion gear bearings into the differential shim
selector tool.
