1. Seal connecting flanges, spot welds and riveted joints of repaired area with seam sealing material.

   Observe standard sealing.

   Seal only primed body parts.

   Ensure that the threads on the weld nuts and threaded bolts as well as the drain openings in the contact surfaces for the axle attachments, pulleys or detachable parts are kept free of seam sealing material.

   It is necessary to seal accessible spot weld flanges on both sides.

2. Insert plastic plug and rubber grommets with seam sealant material.
