WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Nissan Titan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Installation is in the reverse order of removal, paying attention of the following:
    • When inserting the oil pump drive spacer, align the crankshaft key and the flat face of the inner rotor.
    • If they are not aligned, rotate the oil pump inner rotor by hand.
    • Make sure that the each part is aligned. Using a tool such as a plastic hammer, tap lightly until it reaches the end.
