Using the saw, cut the underdoor side member, the centre and rear pillars; these parts will be later welded "edge to edge" using the continuous welding machine.

It is advisable to cut the wing using a hand saw so as not to affect the reinforcements underneath.

Remove the spot welds using a special remover.
The cutter for removing the spot welds acts on the panel which makes up the element to be replaced as far as the panel underneath thereby eliminating the weld spot as shown in the right inset.
