Question 1

How to remove and install a rear axle shaft on Nissan Armada?

Accepted Answer

Wheel nuts need loosening first. Then lift the back of the vehicle, place it on jackstands under frame rails, and securely lock it into place. Also block the front wheels until joined. Use jackstands under the front wheels to stop the car from sliding off when you put the back wheels up. Take off both rear wheels first, then remove and put aside the spare tire. Hold the driveaxles' end in place by unbolting them from the differential and tying them down with wire underneath the car. Secure the driveshaft safely out of your work area by tying it to any underbody part with a wire. Drain the differential lubricant. Put your jack under the rear part that houses the differential. Unplug the vent hose where it connects to the differential housing, and secure it away before working. Take out the rear fasteners that hold the differential in place, then disconnect the ones at the front of the differential. Then, lower it down carefully. Installation is the reverse of removal. Make sure you bolt the U-joint tight, along with the driveaxle flange and rear differential border bolts properly. Keep the stabilizer bar connecting nuts properly tightened according to specifications.

Question 2

How to remove and reinstall the front axle shaft assembly and related components in a Nissan Frontier's suspension system?

Accepted Answer

Lift the vehicle up, place jackstands under it to support the weight, then take off both the splash shield from below and unhitch the vent hose from the differential housing. Identify how the driveshaft links to the differential's companion flange, take out the driveshaft from the flange, and hold it in place with an underbody wire. Hook pieces of wire between the engine block and the drive axles, holding them in place as they fall off the underbody. Lift the engine from above while you release the engine bolts and platform standing with a lifting device or rack. Assemble a floor jack below the differential, lift the front axle assembly, then take off the differential and tube mount bolts from the cross member of the front suspension. Detach four bolts on each end of the differential setup and gently lift the whole axle/differential combination out from below the car. Installation works just like removal, but in reverse order: first tighten all hardware, from engine mounts to nutsvending records, then check and top up differential oil if needed.

Question 3

How to remove and install front and rear axle shafts on Nissan Murano?

Accepted Answer

Starting with the front axle shafts, the front wheel lug nuts should be taken loose, and the vehicle lifted prior to placing it on jackstands, and the final step is to take off the wheel. Next, use a prybar between two wheel studs to remove a cotter pin, and the axle shaft/hub nut; Remove the bolt and nut of the wheel speed sensor from the steering knuckle as well as the brake hose from the suspension strut. Pull off both the brake caliper and disc; ensure that the caliper hangs in an appropriate place that will not hinder working. Remove the lower strut mounting bolts and the strut will no longer be attached to the steering knuckle; pull the axle shaft out from the spindle by hand, or you can use a soft-faced hammer or puller if you have to. Locate the under-vehicle splash shield, and then unbolt it to expose the transaxle; use a drain pan to collect the lubricant that may spill during the process. In case of left axle shaft one should be very careful and gently pull the inner CV joint from the transaxle and in case of right axle shaft on the 2WD car, then bolts of the bearing housing should be unscrewed before disconnecting the axle shaft from the transaxle. In AWD models, remove the right axle shaft from the link shaft possibly with the help of slide hammer. Replace a transaxle or transfer case axle shaft oil seal with a new one. For removal, reverse the process, making sure that the retaining ring is seated correctly to the left axle shaft, the retainer bolts to the right axle shaft are tightened then all fasteners are tightened. Once the wheel is fixed in place together with the lug nuts, drop the car and check on the transaxle level of oil. If it's rear axle shafts on an AWD, relax the rear wheel's lug nuts, lift the car, and then secure it before removing the wheel. Take out the cotter pin and the axle shaft/hub nut or bolt next, and then take out the rear wheel speed sensor and brake caliper and disc, suspending the caliper. Extract the axle shaft from the hub through prying with a soft-faced hammer or a puller, and then, take off the rear wheel hub and the bearing. Open the rear cover of the differential and pry the axle shaft off the rear differential and take it out of the vehicle. For installation reverse all the above removal procedures and be careful not to scrape the differential oil seal and all screws should be tightened.
