  1. REMOVAL

    Symbol Meaning
    B003FY5 Remove Weld Points
    B003G07 Remove Weld Points
    B003G73 Remove Weld Points

    1. Roughly cut open the panel so that the adhesive can be reached. Cut through the adhesive with a cut chisel to remove the panel.

      Tech Tips

      In cases where the adhesive cannot be removed with a cut chisel, heat the adhesive with an industrial heater gun or gas burner taking care not to cause panel deformation by overheating.

    Symbol Meaning
    B003G18 Plug Weld
    B003G5O Plug Weld
    B003FYT Plug Weld
    B003G0V Body Sealer

    1. Inspect the fitting of the related parts around the new parts before welding. This affects the appearance of the finish.

    2. Temporarily install the new parts and measure each part of the new parts in accordance with the body dimension diagram. (See the body dimensions)

    3. Make sure to attach correctly in accordance with the body dimension diagram as this part affects the front wheel alignment.

    4. Before installing a new part, apply body sealer.

      Tech Tips

      Apply body sealer in an even, continuous bead.

    5. Apply adhesive (3MTMAutomixTMPanel Bonding Adhesive #8115).

      Tech Tips


      • Apply a light coat of adhesive around the plug welding points.

      • Apply enough adhesive to the panels.

        Shield gas Metal active gas

        Note

        Be sure to use Metal active gas (Ar 80% + CO220%) as the shield gas when plug welding.Sufficient weld strength cannot be assured when using 100% CO2shield gas.
