Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual: Efficient Removal Of Body Panels
Body Measurements
-
Before removal or rough?cutting, first measure the body at and around the damaged area against the standard reference dimension specifications. If there is deformation, use frame repair equipment to make a rough correction.
Prevention of Body Deformation
-
Use a clamp or a jack for removal and reinforce at and around the rough?cutting location to prevent deforming of the body.
Selection of Cut?and?join Locations
-
For parts where complete replacement is not feasible, careful cutting and joining operations should be followed. If the location to be cut is a flat area where there is no reinforcement, the selected cutting location should be where the welding distortion will be minimal.
Removal of Associated Parts
-
Protect moldings, garnishes, and ornaments with tape when removing associated parts.
Rough Cutting of Damaged Panel
-
Verify that there are no parts (such as pipes, hoses, and wiring harness) nearby or on the opposite side of a panel which could be damaged by heat.
-
For cut?and?join areas, allow for an overlap of 30—50 mm {1.2—1.9 in} and then rough?cut the damaged panel.
