Removal and Installation: Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
- Measure height (A) of seal lip. Calculate protrusion (C) of oil seal lip according to measured height (A) of seal lip and reference value (B) of side oil insertion.
(1)
: Differential side oil seal
(2)
: Converter housing or transaxle case
Lip protrusion (C)
: C = A - B
Differential side oil seal insertion reference value (B)
: 0 mm (0 in)
CAUTION:- Do not reuse differential side oil seal.
- Put a mark on the measurement area and measure height of seal lip at four points diagonally using suitable tool.
NOTE: Since seal lips have a tolerance of ± 0.3 mm (± 0.012 in) at maximum due to manufacturing tolerances or packing conditions, it is necessary to measure the seal lip height beforehand to clarify the tolerance. - As an indicator of the parallelism and insertion depth, cut a masking tape (1) to specified width [add 1 mm (0.04 in) to the value calculated from the tip of differential side oil seal lip] and affix to the differential side oil seal.
- Install the differential side oil seal using a Tool (transaxle case side), and using suitable tool (converter housing side), according to the guide of the masking tape (1).
Tool number
: KV31103700
CAUTION:- If differential side oil seal is inserted deeper than the reference value, use a new differential side oil seal and perform the steps again.
- Apply CVT fluid to the differential side oil seal lip and around the oil seal.
- Remove masking tape.
- Adjust as instructed below to optimize the protrusion size and parallelism.CAUTION: If differential side oil seal is inserted deeper than the reference value, use a new differential side oil seal and perform the steps again.
- Protrusion size (A)CAUTION: Protrusion must fall within ± 0.5 mm (0.020 in) of calculated size.
- Parallelism at four diagonal points (
)
CAUTION: The difference among four diagonal points must be within 0.3 mm (0.012 in).NOTE: If differential side oil seal is uneven while installing, tilt suitable tool.
- Protrusion size (A)
- Check that the protrusion size and parallelism are adequate.
