3315335 - 7210B10 R.R. CENTRE 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. 1. Remove the PVC treatment from the door sill using a pneumatic knife and appropriate blade.2. Use a rotary brush to clean the panel edges in order to expose the weld spots. 1. Use a circular saw to follow the cutting lines shown in the figure.2. Use a pneumatic saw to follow the dotted cutting lines shown in the figure.3. 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.4. Use a chamfering machine to crop weld points around the edge of the pillar.5. Drill out weld points in the areas shown in the figure.Use a chisel and mallet to remove spots drilled previously.6. Remove the pillar. 1. Use a chamfering machine to remove the weld spots shown in the figure.Use a chisel and mallet to remove spots drilled previously.Trim the cut edges of the central pillar.Use a chisel and hammer to remove spots ground previously.2. Remove the interior trim. Straighten the car edges using a mallet and profiled stake.Use a grinding wheel to remove the weld spot residues.Use a rotary brush to clean treated areas.1. Apply electric weld paint finish around the newly-treated edges. 1. Cut the central pillar and reinforcement at the bench. Take care to leave a sufficiently wide section of steel to attach the new part to.2. Use a drill to make holes at the points indicated.Use a rotary brush to remove the corrosion-proofing from around the inner and outer edge.3. Apply electrogalvanised paint on the newly-treated eges. Refitting ( Removing ) 1. Position the central pillar on the car and secure using self-locking clips.2. Check that the part overlaps the edge of the car by about 50 mm.3. Use a circular saw to cut the panel eges (3a), then remove the excess parts in order to achieve a perfect joint line. Leave about 70mm from the central pillar reinforcement cut edge (3b). 1. Fit the pillar reinforcement correctly to the car using self-locking clips.2. Check the part overlaps the edge of the car by about 50 mm.3. Use a pneumatic saw to trim the panels and remove excess parts. 1. Tack the reinforcement and central pillar to the car by applying a few spot welds.2. Fit the front door.Check alignment and gaps around the edges, then remove the door. 1. Use a MIG welder to seam weld the edge shown in the figure.2. use a MIG welder to fill the holes made previously.Use a grinding wheel to level the welds made previouslyApply rust-proofing to newly treated areas. 1. Fit the central pillar correctly using self-locking clips.2. Use a MIG welder to seam weld the upper edge and door sill.3. Use a MIG welder to fill the holes made previously.4. Use a spot welder to apply a few spot welds to the areas shown in the figure. 1. Position the internal reinforcement on the car correctly and secure using self-locking clips.2. Use a MIG welder to fill the holes made previously.3. Use a spot welder to weld the areas shown in the figure. Correct any deformations in the panel using a profiled stake and mallet.1. Use a grinding wheel to level the weld and remove.Use a rotary brush to clean the newly-welded areas. 1. Apply rust-proofing to newly-welded areas.2. Seal the joint lines between the part and the car.Apply paint.3. Apply wax oil inside the door sill.
