Removal
1. Install engine slingers into front left of cylinder head and rear right of cylinder head.

Use alternator bracket mounting bolt holes for the front side.
2. Lift with hoist and secure engine in position.
3. Use manual lift table caddy (commercial service tool) or equiva-
lently rigid tool such as transmission jack. Securely support bot-
tom of front suspension member, and simultaneously adjust
hoist tension.
CAUTION:
Put a piece of wood or something similar as the supporting
surface, secure a completely stable condition.
4. Separate RH engine mounting insulator and RH engine mounting bracket.
5. Pull LH engine mounting through-bolt out.
6. Remove front suspension member mounting nuts and bolts. Refer to FSU-5, "
FRONT SUSPENSION
ASSEMBLY" .
7. Remove engine and transaxle assembly with front suspension member from vehicle downward by care-
fully operating supporting tools.
CAUTION:

During the operation, make sure that no part interferes with vehicle side.

Before and during this lifting, always check if any harnesses are left connected.

During the removal operation, always be careful to prevent vehicle from falling off the lift due to
changes in the center of gravity.

If necessary, support vehicle by setting jack or equivalent tool at the rear.
8. Remove power steering oil pump with piping connected from engine. Refer to PS-29, "
POWER STEER-
ING OIL PUMP" .
9. Remove front engine mounting and rear engine mounting through-bolts to remove front suspension mem-
ber.
10. Remove starter motor. Refer to SC-14, "
STARTING SYSTEM" .
11. Remove each engine mounting insulator and each engine mounting bracket from engine, transaxle and
front suspension member.
12. Separate engine and transaxle. Refer to AT- 2 4 1 , "
TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY" .
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

Do not allow engine oil to get on engine mounting insulator. Be careful not to damage engine mounting
insulator.

When installation directions are specified, install parts according to the direction marks on them referring
to the figure of components. Refer to EM-77, "
Removal and Installation" .

Make sure that each engine mounting insulator is seated properly, and tighten mounting nuts and bolts.Slinger bolts:

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection for Leaks
The following are procedures for checking fluids leak, lubricates leak and exhaust gases leak.

Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-14, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .

Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
–Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel
leakage at connection points.
–Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.

Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gases, or any oil/fluids
including engine oil and engine coolant.

Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.

After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the
specified level, if necessary.

[VQ]PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery DisconnectBBS007TP
NOTE:

This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NATS (NISSAN ANTI-THEFT
SYSTEM).

Remove and install all control units after disconnecting both battery cables with the ignition knob in the
″LOCK″ position.

Always use CONSULT-II to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing
work. If DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnostic results.
For models equipped with the Intelligent Key system and NATS, an electrically controlled steering lock mech-
anism is adopted on the key cylinder.
For this reason, if the battery is disconnected or if the battery is discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
steering wheel rotation will become impossible.
If steering wheel rotation is required when battery power is interrupted, follow the procedure below before
starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables.
NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Use the Intelligent Key or mechanical key to turn the ignition switch to the ″ACC″ position. At this time, the
steering lock will be released.
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released and the steering wheel can be
rotated.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the ″LOCK″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-II.
Precautions for Drain Engine CoolantBBS007TQ
Drain engine coolant when engine is cooled.
Precautions for Disconnecting Fuel PipingBBS007TR

Before starting work, make sure no fire or spark producing items are in the work area.

Release fuel pressure before disconnecting and disassembly.

After disconnecting pipes, plug openings to stop fuel leakage.
Precautions for Removal and DisassemblyBBS007TS

When instructed to use special service tools, use specified tools. Always be careful to work safely, avoid
forceful or uninstructed operations.

Exercise maximum care to avoid damage to mating or sliding surfaces.

Cover openings of engine system with tape or equivalent, if necessary, to seal out foreign materials.

Mark and arrange disassembly parts in an organized way for easy troubleshooting and re-assembly.

When loosening bolts and nuts, as a basic rule, start with the one furthest outside, then the one diagonally
opposite, and so on. If the order of loosening is specified, do exactly as specified.
Precautions for Inspection, Repair and ReplacementBBS007TT
Before repairing or replacing, thoroughly inspect parts. Inspect new replacement parts in the same way, and
replace if necessary.
Precautions for Assembly and InstallationBBS007TU

Use torque wrench to tighten nuts and bolts to specification.

DRIVE BELTS

DRIVE BELTSPFP:02117
Checking Drive BeltsBBS004VM
WARNING:
Be sure to perform the following when engine is stopped.
1. Inspect belts for cracks, fraying, wear and oil. If necessary, replace.
2. Inspect drive belt deflection at a point on the belt midway
between pulleys.

Inspection should be done only when engine is cold, or over
30 minutes after engine is stopped.

When measuring deflection, apply 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at the
marked point.

Adjust if belt deflection exceeds the limit.
CAUTION:

When checking belt deflection immediately after installa-
tion, first adjust it to the specified value. Then, after turning
crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to the specified
value to avoid variation in deflection between pulleys.

Release the tension by loosing lock nut and turning adjust-
ing bolt when adjusting the belt. Tighten once the lock nut
at 4.9 N·m (0.50 Kg-m, 43 in-lb). Then, adjust the belt ten-
sion by loosing lock nut between 45° and 90°.
Belt Deflection
Tension AdjustmentBBS004VN
CAUTION:

When belt is replaced with a new one, adjust it to value for “New belt” to accommodate for insuffi-
cient adaptability with pulley grooves.

When deflection of belt being used exceeds “Limit”, adjust it to value for “After adjustment”.

When checking belt deflection immediately after installation, first adjust it to the specified value.
Then, after turning crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to the specified value to avoid variation
in deflection between pulleys.

When installing belt, make sure that it is correctly engaged with pulley groove.
