Partially Remove Side Longitudinal Member Paneling - Ar63.30-P-1040-01LF
Model 205.0/1/2
Model 222
The following operation steps are shown on the left side of the vehicle on MODEL 222 except CODE Z07a (Top protection) and must be performed analogously on the right side in the event of damage. In principle replacement parts required for this repair can be replaced completely. Observe standard series production joining and bonded connections.
- Mark and cut separating points on side longitudinal member paneling (1) (areas A, B and C).
Do not make the cuts too deep.
Otherwise the components below can be damaged and weakened.
Separating points are freely selectable according to damage in consideration of foam parts and structural foam parts (areas A and B).
Transfer separation point from replacement part (area C).
a = approx. 135 mm
b = approx. 160 mm
- Expose spot welds on side longitudinal member paneling (1) and cut out (areas D).
-
- 3.1 Model 222

- 3.2 Model 205.0/1/2
Heat side longitudinal member paneling (1) in crosshatched areas down to bare metal (areas I).
- 3.1 Model 222
