REMOVAL
As the front pillar reinforcement lower and side sill outer
reinforcement front are welded at the side sill, cut the side
outer panel at the position shown in the illustration where
the weld points of the reinforcement can be seen, remove,
and then remove the weld points of the front pillar
reinforcement lower.
INSTALLATION
1. To ensure the strength of the cut area of the front pillar,
cut the front pillar inner 100 mm above the cut area,
and the side outer panel 50 mm above the cut area as
shown in the illustration.
Cut the new center pillar at the same positions.
2. Attach the front pillar inner upper assembly of the new
front pillar to the body.
3.When installing a new front pillar outer, install a front
pillar silencer protector filling up the gap with butyl
tape<RS-II>andthenapplybodysealantand
structural adhesive on the area shown in the illustration.

REMOVAL
1.As the center pillar reinforcement and side sill outer
reinforcement center are welded at the side sill, cut
the side outer panel at the position shown in the
illustration where the weld points of the reinforcement
can be seen, remove, and then remove the weld
points of the center pillar reinforcement.
2. To cut the weld points of the center pillar seatbelt
reinforcement and center pillar reinforcement, cut at the
bottom of the roof side rail inner as shown in the illustration.
NOTE
Keep the separated side roof rail inner (A) for the
future use.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove the side outer panel, side sill outer reinforcement
center, side sill bulkhead, and side sill reinforcement
support from the new center pillar.
2.To ensure the strength of the cut area of the front
pillar, cut the side outer panel 30 mm above the cut
area.
Cut the new center pillar at the same positions.
3. To prevent damage of the center pillar seatbelt
reinforcement, align the new center pillar reinforcement
only to the body side and cut.
Caution
If the center pillar seatbelt reinforcement has been
damaged, repair by welding.
4. When attaching the center pillar reinforcement, apply
