REMOVAL

NOTE
Because the rear floor side members are designed to
absorb energy during a rear collision, care must be
used when deciding to use this repair method. This
repair is recommended only for moderate damage to
the vehicle, where distortions do not extend forward of
the luggage compartment region. If the damage is
more severe, then the entire side member assembly
should be replaced at the factory seams without
employing this sectioning procedure.
The following procedure applys when only one rear floor
side member needs to be replaced. If both side
members are damaged and need to be replaced, then
the procedure of rear floor side members and rear
floor section should be followed.
Refer to the body dimension charts and measure the
vehicle to determine straightening and alignment
requirements.
The body must be returned to its original dimensions
before beginning the repair procedure.
