REPAIRS USING A HAMMER AND DOLLY
It a damaged external panel, etc., can be reused, the
usual way to repair it is by using a hammer and dolly
to hammer out the damaged area. The following
describes these repair procedures.
.
1. Check whether or not there is foreign material (mud, etc.) on
the panel surface. If so, clean it away.
CAUTION
The surface of the hammer and dolly must be free of scars,
etc.
2. Select the appropriate hammer and dolly to be used
according to the panel shape.
CAUTION
Care should be taken, as far as possible, not to permit the
panel plates to become elongated.
3. Use the hammer and dolly to repair the dents and other
uneven surfaces of the panel.
(1) First repair the larger areas of damage so that they are as
close as possible to the original condition before the
damage occurred.
