EFFICIENT REMOVAL OF BODY PANELS

Body Measurements
• Before removal or rough-cutting, first measure the
body at and around the damaged area against
the standard reference dimension specifications.
If there is deformation, use frame repair
equipment to make a rough correction.
Prevention of Body Deformation
• Use a clamp or a jack for removal and reinforce at
and around the rough-cutting location to prevent
deforming of the body.
Selection of Cut-and-join Locations
• For parts where complete replacement is not
feasible, careful cutting and joining operations
should be followed. If the location to be cut is a
flat area where there is no reinforcement, the
selected cutting location should be where the
welding distortion will be minimal.
Remove of Associated Parts
• Protect moldings, garnishes, and ornaments with tape when removing associated parts.
