• Brake hoses and pipes
• Engine compartment electrical components
• Fittings in passenger compartment, etc.

3. Roughly pull out and straighten the damaged area.

• Attach the car to the frame straightener by tightening the underbody clamps located at the horizontal pinch welds.
• Before cutting off the damaged sections, pull them out so that they are restored to the original shape.
• Cutting off the front side frame before roughly pulling out the damage makes repair of the related front floor, lower dashboard, and other related parts difficult.

4. Peel off the undercoat. Heat the undercoat at the weld areas of the lower dashboard, front floor and side sill with a gas torch and peel off the undercoat with a metal spatula.

CAUTION: Be careful not to burn the fittings inside the passenger compartment and dashboard insulator when heating.
