3315333 - 7210A60 R.R. FRONT PILLAR

Removing ( Refitting ) Check if any of the connected parts are deformed by checking body alignment dimensions. Use appropriate measurement tools (reference rigs, templates or gauges).Straighten the body if necessary. Remove the PVC treatment from the door sill pillar using a vibrating cutter and appropriate blade.1. Use a circular saw to follow the dotted cutting lines shown in the figure.2. Cross-sections of key areas as a guide to allow the operator to adjust cutting position and depth in order to avoid damage to the underlying panels.3. Remove the front pillar cut edges from the car. 1. Use a chamfering machine to remove the weld spots shown in the figure.2. Drill out the spot welds shown in the figure.3. Use a scalpel and mallet to remove spots ground previously and remove panel cut edges. Straighten the body edges using a mallet and profiled stake.Use a grinding wheel to remove the weld spot residues.1. Apply the electric weld paint finish. 1. Cut the front pillar at the bench. Take care to leave a sufficiently wide steel edge to attach the new part to.2. Make equidistant holes on the front pillar and part as shown in the figure.Use a rotary brush to remove the corrosion-proofing from around the inner and outer edge.3. Apply electric weld paint finish to the edges in contact with the car. Refitting ( Removing ) 1. Tack pillar reinforcement (1a) to the car using Parker screws. 1. Position the front pillar on the car and secure using self-locking clips.2. Use the wing retaining nut as a reference point when locating the pillar.3. Position the reinforcement on the car using self-locking clips.4. Tack both parts using Parker screws.Remove the self-locking clips. 1. Refit the front wing.Use a gauge to check windscreen seat diagonals, door compartment and component alignment.2. Position the lower wing bracket and mark its correct position. Remove the front wing and lower wing retaining bracket.1. Use a circular saw to cut both panel sections in order to achieve a perfect joint line.2. Remove any excess sheet steel.3. Remove the parts. 1. Use the holes made previously to position the pillar reinforcement to the car and secure.2. Use a MIG welder to fill the holes made previously in the door sill reinforcement.3. Use a spot welder to make a few spot welds around the edge of the part.4. Apply hard solder between the pillar and windscreen surround. 1. Position the front pillar and secure to the car.2. Use a MIG welder to weld the holes made previously.3. Use a MIG welder to seam weld the pillar and door sill edges.4. Use a spot welder to weld the areas shown in the figure.5. Position the wing retaining bracket, using the marks made previously as a reference.6. Use a MIG welder to fill the holes made previously. 1. Fit the reinforcement to the car.2. Use a MIG welder to fill the holes made previously.3. Use a spot welder to weld the points indicated.4. Position the car lift bracket at the height shown in the figure.5. Use a welding machine 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 weld and remove. Apply rust-proofing to newly-welded areas.1. Seal the joint lines between the part and the car.2. Apply foam through the hole indicated in the figure.Apply paint.3. Apply wax oil inside the front pillar. Fit the front hinge on the front pillar.
