ENGINE STAND SETTING

NOTE：

Explained here is how to disassemble with engine stand supporting transmission surface. When using different type of engine stand, note with difference in steps and etc.

1.Remove the engine assembly from the vehicle. Refer to Exploded View (GT-R certified NISSAN dealer).

2.Remove crankshaft pulley as follows:
NOTE：
Loosen crankshaft pulley bolt before removing a flywheel.

(1)Fix flywheel with a ring gear stopper [SST: KV101056S0 (J-49374)] (A).



(2)Loosen crankshaft pulley bolt and rotate bolt seating surface at 10 mm (0.39 in) from its original position.
■ CAUTION ■
Never remove crankshaft pulley bolt because it is used as a supporting point for suitable puller.

(3)Place suitable puller tab on holes of crankshaft pulley, and pull crankshaft pulley through.
■ CAUTION ■
Never put suitable puller tab on crankshaft pulley periphery, because this damages internal damper.

3.Remove the parts that may restrict installation of engine to widely use engine stand.
NOTE：
The procedure is described assuming that you use a widely use engine stand holding the surface, to which transmission is installed.

(1)Fix flywheel with a ring gear stopper [SST: KV101056S0 (J-49374)] (A).


(2)Loosen flywheel mounting bolts.
• Loosen mounting bolts in diagonal order.
• Check for deformation or damage flywheel. Refer to Inspection (GT-R certified NISSAN dealer).

4.Lift the engine with hoist to install it onto the widely use engine stand.
■ CAUTION ■
Use an engine stand that has a load capacity [220 kg (485 lb) or more] large enough for supporting the engine weight.

• If the load capacity of the stand is not adequate, remove the following parts beforehand to reduce the potential risk of overturning the stand.
• Remove intake manifold collector. Refer to Exploded View.
  ■ CAUTION ■
  Mark the parts with paint in advance of the reinstallation to prevent misalignment between the intake manifold collector and intake manifold.
  
• Remove intake manifold. Refer to Exploded View.
• Remove fuel injector and fuel tube assembly. Refer to Exploded View.
• Remove ignition coil. Refer to Exploded View.
• Remove rocker cover. Refer to Exploded View.
• Remove exhaust manifold and turbocharger assembly. Refer to Exploded View.
• Other removable brackets.
  NOTE：
  The figure shows an example of widely use engine stand (A) that can hold mating surface of transmission with flywheel removed.
  
  
  
  ■ CAUTION ■
  Before removing the hanging chains, check the engine stand is stable and there is no risk of overturning.
  

5.Drain engine oil. Refer to Draining.

6.Drain engine coolant by removing water drain plugs (3) from cylinder block as shown in the figure.
