1. Use a hacksawing machine to follow the cutting lines shown in
the figure.2. Remove the side member.Use a rotary brush to remove paint to gain
access to the weld spots.3. Use a chamfering machine to remove the weld spots shown in the
figure.Drill out any weld spots not accessible
to the chamfering machine.Use a chisel and mallet to remove spots
drilled previously.Trim the cut edges from the car.
Straighten the car edges using
a mallet and profiled stake.Use a grinding wheel to remove the spot
weld residues.Use a rotary brush to clean treated areas.1. Apply the electroweldable paint finish.
1. Take the measurements accurately and cut the replacement part
keeping a section of panel for the overlap.2. Use a grinding wheel to remove the corrosion-proofing from around
the inner and outer edges of the replacement part and the reinforcement.3. Drill the holes shown in the reinforcement using the drill.Apply electric weld paint finish to the
edges to be welded.

1. Position the side member correctly on the vehicle and secure
it using self-locking clamps.Check the alignment and ensure the surrounding
gaps are even.2. Use a circular saw to trim the panel along the join line to remove
any excess parts.3. Use a MIG welder to seam weld the join line.4. Position the reinforcement.5. Use a spot welder to weld the areas shown in the figure.6. Use a MIG welder to fill the holes made previously.
Correct any deformations in
the panel using a profiled stake and mallet.1. Use a grinding wheel to level the weldsUse a rotary brush to clean the newly-welded
areas.
1. Apply rust-proofing to newly-welded areas.Seal the joint lines between the part and
the car.

deformed by checking body alignment dimensions. Use appropriate measurement
tools (reference rigs, templates or gauges). Straighten the body if necessary.
