INSTALLATION
1. Clean the old grease on joint sub-assembly with paper waste.
2. Fill serration slot joint sub-assembly (1) with NISSAN genuine
grease or equivalent until the serration slot and ball groove
become full to the brim.
CAUTION:
After applying grease, use a paper waste to wipe off old
grease that has oozed out.
3. Wrap serration on shaft (VQ25DE) or housing assembly
(VQ35DE) with tape (A) to protect the boot from damage. Install
boot and boot bands to shaft (VQ25DE) or housing assembly
(VQ35DE).
CAUTION:
Never reuse boot and boot band.
4. Remove the tape wrapped around the serration on shaft
(VQ25DE) or housing assembly (VQ35DE).
5. Position the circular clip (1) on groove at the shaft (VQ25DE) or
housing assembly (VQ35DE) edge.
CAUTION:
Never reuse circular clip.
NOTE:
Drive joint inserter is recommended when installing circular clip.
6. Align both center axles of the shaft (VQ25DE) or housing
assembly (VQ35DE) edge and joint sub-assembly. Then assem-
ble shaft (VQ25DE) or housing assembly (VQ35DE) with circu-
lar clip joint sub-assembly.
7. Install joint sub-assembly (1) to shaft (VQ25DE) or housing
assembly (VQ35DE) using plastic hammer.
CAUTION:
Confirm that joint sub-assembly is correctly engaged while
rotating shaft (VQ25DE) or housing assembly (VQ35DE).
8. Fill into the boot inside with the specified amount of grease from

9. Install the boot securely into grooves (indicated by “*” marks)
shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
If grease adheres to the boot mounting surface (indicated
by “*” mark) on the shaft (VQ25DE) or housing assembly
(VQ35DE) or joint sub-assembly, boot may be removed.
Remove all grease from the boot mounting surface.
10. To prevent from the deformation of the boot, adjust the boot
installation length (L) by inserting the suitable tool into inside of
the boot from the large diameter side of the boot and discharg-
ing the inside air.
CAUTION:
 If the boot mounting length exceeds the standard, it may cause breakage in the boot.
 Be careful not to touch the inside of the boot with a tip of tool.
11. Secure the large and small ends of the boot with boot bands
using the boot band crimping tool (A) (SST: KV40107300).
CAUTION:
Never reuse boot band.
NOTE:
Secure boot band so that dimension (M) meets the specification
as shown in the figure.
12. Secure joint sub-assembly and shaft (VQ25DE) or housing
assembly (VQ35DE), and then make sure that they are in the
correct position when rotating boot. Reinstall them using boot
bands when boot installation positions become incorrect.
CAUTION:
Never reuse boot band.
13. Insert drive shaft to wheel hub and bearing assembly, and then temporarily tighten wheel hub lock nut.
CAUTION:
The drive shaft is press-fit. When assembling the drive shaft, never press it, but pull it until fully
seated by tightening the wheel hub lock nut.
14. Install steering knuckle to strut assembly. Refer to FSU-9, "
Exploded View".
15. Tighten the wheel hub lock nut to the specified torque. Refer to FA X - 8 , "
