 DISMOUNTIN

G

Dismount the damaged elements, which are

in contact with the rear longitudinal girder.

Proceed to a straightening on the body

checking/ straightening  until bringing the  ve-
hicle as closed as possible to the initial shape.

Detach the welding points of the rear

longitudinal girder (1), which are in contact
with:

- central floor in the area (2);
- rear floor in the area (3);
- rear extreme cross member in the area (4);
- tank front cross member in the area (5);
- tank rear cross member in the area (6);
- inner wheel passage in the area (7);
- rear towing hock in the area (9).

Detach the welding points between the  rear

side cross member, rear floor and threshold
closing plate in  the area  (8).

Straighten the areas resulted after dismounting.
Grind the areas resulted after dismounting.

 

REMOUNTING

Position and center the new element by

means of  the repairing  bench.

Weld the rear longitudinal girder following

the assembling outlines 2,3,4,5,6,7, 8 and
9(spots and  under  gas protection welding)

Grind the performed welding.
Protect the  performed welding with an

anticorrosive product.

Protect the replaced element with a noise

absorbent product.

Mount the connection elements by

performing the dismounting operations in the
reverse order.
