WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Nissan Xterra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Measure the deflection of the flywheel contact surface to the clutch with a dial gauge.
Measure the runout at 210 mm (8.27 in) diameter.
Limit : 0.45 mm (0.0177 in) or less
When measured value exceeds the limit, replace the flywheel with a new one.
