Refer to the Electronic Service Manual (ESM) for model-specific torque specifications. For 2007-2019 Versa and 2013 LEAF vehicles, see the Service Procedure torque specifications on page 3. IMPORTANT: The purpose of “ACTION” (above) is to give you a quick idea of the work you will be performing. You MUST closely follow the entire Service Procedure as it contains information that is essential to successfully completing the repair. Nissan Bulletins are intended for use by qualified technicians, not 'do-it-yourselfers'. Qualified technicians are properly trained individuals who have the equipment, tools, safety instruction, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. NOTE: If you believe that a described condition may apply to a particular vehicle, DO NOT assume that it does. See your Nissan dealer to determine if this applies to your vehicle. 1/5 SERVICE PROCEDURE NOTE: The photos in this procedure are examples and may not look exactly like the vehicle you are working on.
