This is an RE4F02 model, his model is just like my 94 Maxima Sohc. And this is how it looks like:

You're going to need a big braker bar with 1/2"drive and stick it into that slot and brake it opens. Be awared that there is NO replaceable trans filter for this transmission model. Although, you could change the filter but you really have to take the trans apart. So don't worry about the filter, just drain the fluids and let it drains for 20mins. Fill it back up with 4 qts of your fav atf brand, I used Amsoil. Redline is also a great brand name to mess with too. After you do what you have to torque it back to 28 ft lbs using a torque wrench. Don't OVER torque it.

I just did it to my car, it took me freaking forever to realized that nut is there and it looks pretty fruity to realize that's the one. Surprisingly, the Hayes book didn't have it, so I have to relied on the Chilton book. Here is a link to the online version:

It's always good to grab the Chilton too if you can, it has some pretty virtual info that Hayes don't (and vice versa, too), such as this case and the jack point and jackstand spots were clearly defined. If I had known the Chilton book earlier I would've had not made some of the most dumbest mistake ever cuz I pretty screwed up most of the jack rails that were designed for the scissor jack. Oh well, we all live and learn.
