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.
