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. Use a rotary brush to clean the panel edges in order to expose the spot welds.2. Use a hacksawing machine to follow the cutting lines shown in the figure.3. Use a chamfering machine to crop weld spots.4. Drill out spot welds in the areas shown in the figure.Use a chisel and mallet to remove spots drilled previously.5. Remove the edges of the rear outer wheel arch.
Straighten the panel edges using a hammer 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. Use a rotary brush to remove the corrosion-proof treatment from around the inner and outer edges of the part.2. Drill holes in the part at the points shown.Use electroweldable paint on the newly-treated edges.

1. Lay the wheel arch on the car correctly and secure using self-locking grippers.Check alignment.2. Use a spot welder to weld the areas shown in the figure.3. 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.2. Apply heat expanding sealant to the areas indicated between outer and inner wheel arch.Apply paint.Apply wax oil protection inside the wheel arch.
