Removing components

REMOVING COMPONENTS

a. Ensure that all the damaged parts have been identified, measuring the main squaring values. See "Body squaring".

b. Pull the body using equipment suited to the extent of the damage and apply the pulling force in the opposite direction to that of the crash. Removed parts can be re-used provided that they meet the requirements listed in "Body Squaring".

CAUTION: Pay special attention when securing tension chains to the body, to avoid accidental release during the operations.

c. Cut away the damaged parts. Tools required: - Reciprocating or circular saw - Pneumatic chisel

d. If the welding spots are not visible, remove the paint using a metal brush. Tools required: - Rotary brush.
