12.12.5 Removal and Installation
12.12.5.1 Removal and Installation
Note
Before remove any key components from the vehicle
body, you must use a universal-type body frame
correction calibration to correct body, and then
determine the damaged components that need to be
replaced. Before welding, the parts must be accurately
positioned, and then you must measure to ensure that
components meet the body dimension requirements. In
the welding process, you must measure related
dimensions frequently to ensure proper assembly.
Before removal, you must understand the body sheet
metal parts correlations. Please refer to the "Body Sheet
Metal Parts Map" below. It is not recommended to cut a
single part, as cutting and welding will affect the vehicle
stiffness, driving safety and maintenance convenience.
Removal Procedure:
1. Remove all the parts relevant to the component that
needs to be replaced.
2. Apply sealant and anti-corrosion material when
necessary.
3. Locate, mark and drill all the factory solder joints on the
component that needs to be replaced.
4. Remove the damaged component that needs to be
replaced.
5. Remove material residue.
Installation Procedure:
1. Treat the mating surface when necessary.
2. According to the original welding type, you must choose
the correct welding techniques. Use shielded welding at
areas that are not convenient for welding. If you choose
to plug welding, please drill holes in the new components
for plug welding seam. Determine the diameter and
spacing according to the original plug weld hole solder
joints.
3. Temporarily put the new component on the vehicle.
4. Install the new component with the correct mountings and
tighten (correct position the repair board).
