Precautions when working with the main gear (Nissan Qashqai J10)

Before dismantling or disassembling, it is necessary to check the correct installation of the parts. If it is necessary to apply installation marks, make sure that they will not interfere with the operation of the parts to which they will be applied.

Repairs should be carried out in a clean work area, preferably protected from dust.

Before disassembling, remove sand and dirt from the outer surfaces of the unit using steam or colorless gasoline. This will prevent sand and dirt from getting inside the unit during disassembling or assembling.

Inspect the disassembled parts, paying attention to their damage, deformation or unusual wear. If necessary, replace them with new ones.

Gaskets and sealing rings must be replaced each time the unit is disassembled.

The basic rule for tightening bolts and nuts is to tighten them in several steps, diagonally from the inside to the periphery. If a tightening order is specified, it must be strictly followed.

Clean and rinse the parts thoroughly. Then dry them by blowing them with compressed air.

Be careful not to damage the sliding and mating surfaces.

Before applying the sealant, remove the old sealant from the mounting surface. Then completely add moisture, oil and foreign substances from the mounting and treated surfaces.

Always use thin paper to clean the interior surfaces of components.

To prevent contamination of the fabric with paper fluff and threads, do not use cotton gloves or rags.

During assembly, check the recommended tightening torque values and, if necessary, apply fresh transmission oil, petroleum jelly or grease in accordance with the recommendations for the specific vehicle.
