Removal of components (page 2 of 2)

1. Remove the spot welds using a chamfering machine or a pneumatic drill.
   Tools required:
   - Spot-cutter.
   - Pneumatic drill.

CAUTION: Use protective gloves and glasses

CAUTION:
• Position the chamfering machine over the centre of the spot to be removed.
• To facilitate the operation, a cutting speed of approx. 1,000 r.p.m. should be employed.
• Adjust the milling depth by acting on the screw.
• Care should be taken to avoid drilling mating components. Plug any holes with autogenous welds or projection welds.
• Holes can reduce component rigidity and give rise to water seepage.
• When existing holes in welded parts are used for new components (as in hole welding) use a small diameter drill (less than 8mm.) and carry out welding as quickly as possible.

1. Using a chisel remove all traces of welding.
   Tools required:
   - Chisel.
   - Hammer.
