MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
3. With pliers, pry the slider block off the cam assembly as
illustrated in Figure 7-14.
4. Place a new slider block over the shaft of the cam assem-
bly.
5. Using a piece of wood (or similar material) pressed against
the top of the slider block, carefully hammer the piece of
wood so the slider block snaps onto the cam assembly shaft
as shown in Figure 7-15.
6. Re-install the drive chain and remove the locking pliers
securing the cam assembly in its lowest position.
7. Pull up on the cam assembly to allow it to take up as much
chain slack as possible.
8. Replace the floor pans.

7.2.5 IDLER CHAIN
CLA
Frontier Models are equipped with 2 idler chains to transfer
power from the output shafts of the transmission to the drive
chains through a series of sprockets. They are located on each
side of the transmission.
A loose or improperly adjusted idler chain can result in damage
to the chain or sprockets. During the new vehicle break-in
period, check the idler chain adjustment before operating the
vehicle and after the first 2 hours of operation. After the initial
break-in period, check the idler chain adjustment every 50
hours. An indication of loose idler chains is a loud banging
noise when the vehicle is turned.
Figure 7-16. Measuring idler chain deflection
To check the idler chain adjustment, push the slack side of
the chain and measure the amount of chain deflection (Figure
7-16). Adjust the idler chain tension if deflection is more than
3mm (1/8").
Idler Chain Adjustment
1. Remove the firewall from the vehicle as detailed in Section
7.3.4.
2. Loosen the 2 left side clamping nuts with a 15/16" socket
wrench (figure 7-17).
3. Turn the vertical adjustment bolts counter-clockwise to
raise the power pack and tighten the idler chains. The idler
chains are properly adjusted when the deflection measures
3 mm (1/8"), (Figure 7-18).
