DESCRIPTION

This section is prepared for technicians who have attained a high level of skill and experience in repairing col-

lision-damaged vehicles and also use modern service tools and equipment. Persons unfamiliar with body

repair techniques should not attempt to repair collision-damaged vehicles by using this section.

Technicians are also encouraged to read Body Repair Manual (Fundamentals) in order to ensure that the orig-

inal functions and quality of the vehicle can be maintained. The Body Repair Manual (Fundamentals) contains

• Front pillar butt joint can be determined anywhere within shaded

area as shown in the figure. The best location for the butt joint is at

position A due to the construction of the vehicle. Refer to the front

pillar section.

• Determine cutting position and record distance from the locating

indent. Use this distance when cutting the service part. Cut outer

front pillar over 60 mm above inner front pillar cut position.

• Prepare a cutting jig to make outer pillar easier to cut. Also, this will

permit service part to be accurately cut at joint position.

• An example of cutting operation using a cutting jig is as follows.

1. Mark cutting lines.

A: Cut position of outer pillar

B: Cut position of inner pillar

2. Align cutting line with notch on jig. Clamp jig to pillar.

3. Cut outer pillar along groove of jig. (At position A)

4. Remove jig and cut remaining portions.

5. Cut inner pillar at position B in same manner.
