WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Nissan Sentra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
- Clean any old grease and abrasive materials off of the grease application areas as shown.
- Apply approximately a 1 mm (0.04 in) thick coating of clutch sleeve grease to the withdrawal lever and holder spring friction surfaces.
- Apply a coat of clutch sleeve grease to the grooves on contact surfaces of the withdrawal lever ball pin and inner surface of the release bearing; make sure the grease is flush with the grooves.
- Apply a thin coat of clutch sleeve grease to the release bearing friction surface. After the grease application, install the release bearing. Wipe off any excess grease forced out from the bearing installation.
