Opening Welding Spots (Resistance Pressure Spot Welding): Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 18 other vehicles, including the 2015 BMW Alpina B7L xDrive, 2015 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive, 2015 BMW 750i xDrive, 2015 BMW 750Li xDrive, and 2015 BMW 740Li xDrive. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If necessary, surface-grind existing unevenness with a belt or angle grinder in the area around the welding spot.

Set punch mark in center of welding spot. Set 8 mm dia. weld spot drill bit on punch mark and drill through top panel.

NOTE: Because the welding spots may have surface-hardened, grind them if necessary with an angle grinder and paper grinding disc.

Use a chisel to separate the sheet metal flange and remove the component.

Follow the special procedure for SPOT WELDS .
