1. Use a pneumatic saw to cut along the lines shown in the figure and remove the side panel.

2. Use a circular saw to cut the side panel, following the cutting lines shown in the figure.

Use a rotary brush to clean the areas to expose the weld spots.

3. Crop the spot welds shown in the figure and trim away the excess sheet steel.

1. Use a chamfering machine to remove the spot welds, then remove the remaining reinforcement.

Straighten theedges using a mallet and profiled stake.

Use a grinding wheel to remove the weld spot residues.

2. Apply the electric weld paint finish.

1. Cut the strut at the bench. Take care to leave a sufficiently wide section of steel to attach the new part to.

Use a rotary brush to remove the corrosion-proofing from around the inner and outer edge.

2. Apply electroweldable paint finish to the edges in contact with the car.
