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.
