WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Infiniti QX56. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Explained here is how to disassemble with engine stand supporting transmission surface. When using a different type of engine stand, note the difference in the steps, etc.
  1. Remove the engine assembly from the vehicle. Refer to "EXPLODED VIEW ".
  2. Remove crankshaft pulley. Refer to "FRONT OIL SEAL: REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ".
    NOTE: The drive plate is fixed with a ring gear stopper [SST: KV10120100 (J-47245)]. Loosen the crankshaft pulley mounting bolts before installing the engine stand.
  3. Remove the parts that may restrict installation of engine to a widely used engine stand.
  4. Lift the engine with hoist to install it onto the widely used engine stand.
    CAUTION: Use an engine stand that has a load capacity [240 kg (529 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. Refer to "EXPLODED VIEW ".
      • Remove fuel injector and fuel tube assembly. Refer to "EXPLODED VIEW ".
      • Remove ignition coil. Refer to "EXPLODED VIEW ".

      • Other removable brackets.
        NOTE: The figure shows an example of widely used engine stand (A) that can hold mating surface of transmission with drive plate removed.
        CAUTION: Before removing the hanging chains, check the engine stand is stable and there is no risk of overturning.
