Opening Brazed Connections Rep-Alg-RAGRP41-4105305 - V.2 (Cooper 4-Door Hatchback And 2-Door Hatchback, 2020-2023)

The "Bonding and Riveting" repair method involves replacing the watertight brazed connection with adhesive.

This gives rise to a new procedure for opening brazed connections.

Grind brazed seam with a belt grinder. This keeps the influence of heat in the area around the brazed seam as small as possible.

IMPORTANT: Never use a gas flame.

All traces of brazing solder do not have to be removed.

Do not grind body panels thin.
