Removing ( Refitting ) - 7210E18 R.R. FRONT WINGCheck 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.
Use a rotary brush to clean
the panel edges to reveal the weld spots.1. Use a pneumatic saw to follow the dotted cutting lines shown
in the figure.2. Use a drill and chamfering machine to remove the weld spots
shown in the figure.3. Use a grinding wheel to remove the welding residues.Use a scalpel and mallet to remove spots
ground previously and remove the pillar from the car.
Straighten the body edges using
a mallet and profiled stake.Use a grinding wheel to remove the spot
weld residues.Apply electric weld paint to the edges
of the bodyshell.Cut the front pillar at the bench. Take
care to leave a sufficiently wide steel edge to attach the new part
to.1. Use a rotary brush to remove the corrosion-proofing from around

of the reinforcement.4. Use a spot welder to make a few spot welds around the edge of
the part.
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 carry out the seam welding in the areas illustrated.4. Use a spot welder to weld the points indicated.
Correct any deformations in
the panel using a profiled stake and mallet.Use a grinding wheel to level the weld
and remove.Apply rust-proofing to newly-welded areas.Seal the joint lines between the part and
the car. - 7210E18 R.R. FRONT WING
