PANEL REPAIRS
PROCEDURES
Panel replacement procedure
This procedure is designed to explain the basic panel
removal and replacement method. The main criterion
in removal and replacement of body panels is that
the original standard is maintained as far as possible.
While individual repairs will differ in detail, this
procedure has been devised placing emphasis on
ease of repair and the elimination of unnecessary
work.
Body panels are being increasingly manufactured in
high strength steels to meet design requirements for
safety and weight saving. As panels in high strength
steels cannot be visually identified, and as they are
more sensitive to excess heat than panels
manufactured from low carbon steel, it is advisable
that the following procedure be observed at all times.
2.
Cut out welds using a cobalt drill.
Remove panel
3.
Alternatively, use a clamp-type spot weld
remover.
1.
Expose resistance spot welds. For those spot
welds which are not obviously visible, use a
rotary impregnated wire brush fitted to an air
drill, or alternatively a hand held wire brush.
NOTE: In wheel arch areas it may be necessary
to soften underbody coating, using a hot air
gun, prior to exposing spot welds.
