The essential tool (part number # J-52982, Figure 1) required to remove the nut staking, is called out as a “Cape Chisel” in the Electronic Service Manual (ESM), and must be used to prevent thread damage to the axle (see Figure 2 on page 2). • The Cape Chisel arrived at dealers in December of 2020. • Damaged threads, due to improper removal of the stake placed in the nut, will not be covered by warranty. For information on using the Cape Chisel, refer to the Electronic Service Manual (ESM): Section TRANSMISSION & DRIVELINE > FRONT AXLE > REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION > FRONT DRIVE SHAFT > LH/RH.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10188352-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10188352-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10188352","components":[{"id":"equipment","name":"Equipment and accessories","parent":null},{"id":"powertrain","name":"Transmission and driveline","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"INFINITI","model":"QX50","year_from":2019,"year_to":2021,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2019_infiniti_qx50","2020_infiniti_qx50","2021_infiniti_qx50"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
