Proper and Efficient Work ProceduresREMOVAL
NUMBER OF SPOT WELDS AND PANEL POSITIONS
The number of spot welds and the panel positions to be
removed are shown for your reference.
HINT: See ºSymbols º on page IN-4,5 .
PRE-REMOV AL MEASURING
Before removal or cutting
operations, take measurements
in accordance with the dimen-
sion diagram. Always use a
puller to straighten a damaged
body or frame.
REMOVAL of ADJACENT COMPONENTS
When removing adjacent components, ap-
ply protective tape to the surrounding body
and your tools to prevent damage.
HINT: See ºHandling Precautions on Related Components º on page IN-9.
PRECAUTIONS FOR DRILLING OR
CUTTING
Check behind any area to be drilled or
cut to insure that there are no hoses,
wires, etc., that may be damaged.
HINT: See ºHandling Precautions on
Related Components º on page IN-9.
CUTTING AREA
Always cut in a straight
line and avoid reinforced
areas.

welded, and apply
weld-through primer.
HINT: See ºANTI-
RUST TREATMENT ºon page AR-9.
When welding panels with a
combined thickness of over
3 mm (0.12 in.), use a MIG
(Metal Inert Gas) welder for
plug welding.

For areas where a spot welder cannot
be used, use a puncher or drill to make
holes for plug welding.

INSTALLATION
PRE-WELDING MEASUREMENTS
Always take measurements
before installing underbody
or engine components
to insure correct assembly.
After installation, confirm
proper fit.POST-WELDING REFINISH-
ING
1. Always check the welded
spots to insure they are
secure.
2. When smoothing out the weld spots with a disc
grinder, be careful not to
grind off too much as this
would weaken the weld.
WELDING PRECAUTIONS
1. The number of welding spots
should be as follows.
Spot weld: 1.3 x No. of
manufacturer's spots.
Plug weld: More than No. of
manufacturer's plugs.
WRONG
OKAYWRONG
2. Plug welding should be done
with a MIG (Metal Inert Gas)
welder. Do not gas weld or
braze panels at areas other
than specified.

SPOT WELDING PRECAUTIONS
SPOT WELD LOCATIONS
Try to avoid welding over
previous spots. 1. The shape of the welding
tip point has an effect on
the strength of the weld.
2. Always insure that the seams and welding tip are
free of paint.
