WELDED PANEL REPLACEMENT

NOTE: Partial replacement of the front upper frame is possible 
depending on the range of damage. When performing partial 
replacement, cut the fender shield frame upper outer 152 mm 
(6.0 inches) forward of the positioning hole center, and cut the 
front upper frame inner 25 mm (0.98 inches) forward of the 
positioning hole center.

NOTE ON REPAIR WORK

.

REMOVAL

Turn up the front sidemember outer as shown to cut off the 
welded point between the front sidemember inner and the front 
body frame to side sill brace.

.

INSTALLATION

When installing the new front sidemember, align the hole of the 
front sidemember brace lower with the front sidemember outer 
to make a hole because the front sidemember outer prevents 
the front sidemember inner and front sidemember brace lower 
from being welded. Then, weld the front sidemember outer, 
front sidemember inner, and front sidemember brace lower.
