REPLACING REAR WING (7090A 54)*
(*) This number indicates the operation code given in the Flat rate manual.
The component for which the replacement procedure is given is highlighted in the diagram at the side.
PRELIMINARY PROCEDURES
Establish the extent of the damage, check if there are distortions to the connected components by checking the bodyshell alignment figures.
Carry out any straightening operations required to the bodyshell using suitable methods (jigs, templates or gauges), before cutting the component. After this operation check that the components not being replaced are intact.
PRECAUTIONS/WARNINGS AND PRELIMINARY DISMANTLING
Protect the seats and the parts which could be damaged using cloths.
Remove the fuel tank, disconnect the battery and all the electrical and electronic components because the currents produced during the welding operations could cause serious damage.
REMOVING AND REFITTING OPERATING CYCLE
The replacement of the panels can be "total or "partial"; this second solution is preferable when trying to avoid damage to another panel which has been assembled through welding. Cut the wing using a power saw following the dotted lines shown in the diagram below.
We show the sections of the panels at the cutting points to allow the operator to adjust the position and the depth of the cutting.
When carrying out the operations described, adhere strictly to the safety procedures. Protective shoes, ear-muffs and gloves should be worn during the cutting operations, masks and gloves during the welding and painting operations.
