notePartial replacement is possible depending on the range of damage. Cut the side sill reinforcement 50 mm away from the cut area of the side outer panel.

NOTE ON REPAIR WORK



REMOVAL



1. Remove the fender bracket on the cut area in advance when cutting the side outer panel.

2. When removing the floor side sill reinforcement, the front pillar reinforcement interferes with it in the front pillar section, and thus cut the front pillar reinforcement 125 mm below the centre of the front door hinge installation hole. In the centre pillar section, the centre pillar reinforcement interferes with it, and thus cut the welding point of the side outer panel, centre pillar reinforcement, and side sill panel inner. Then push the centre pillar reinforcement outward, and drop the floor side sill reinforcement to remove it.


INSTALLATION



1. When assembling the new floor side sill reinforcement parts, apply in advance adhesives to the areas shown in the figure of the instructions.
Adhesive: Epoxyayresin adhesive
Brand: 3M ATD Part No.8115 or equivalent

2. When installing the new front side sill outer, apply the body sealant and adhesives in advance to the areas shown in the figure.
Adhesive: Epoxyayresin adhesive

cautionWeld and repair if the side sill front bulkhead is damaged.
Cut only the side sill reinforcement front of the new floor side sill reinforcement by aligning it with the cut area on the body side. Cut 205 mm forward from the cut area to create a cover. Next, cut the side sill reinforcement and the side sill front bulkhead by aligning them with the side sill reinforcement cut area on the body side. Cut only the side sill reinforcement 105 mm forward from the cut area to create a cover. Next, cut the side sill front bulkhead 55 mm forward from the cut area.

3. Weld the side sill front bulkhead, side sill reinforcement cover, and then side sill reinforcement front in that order.
