During removal, cut out the production welds at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 in figure 43. It is necessary to drill out the spot welds at 1 from inside the vehicle. Remove panel bulk. In replacement, drill and punch holes in the new panels for plug welding at 4, 5, 8 and 9 as there is no spot welding access at these points. Make further plug welds at 6 due to excessive metal thickness and reinstate the production seam welds at 7. In cases where a RH front inner wing is undergoing replacement, it is necessary to plug weld to the main engine mounting bracket at 2 and 3 as there is no access for a spot welder and also to plug weld at 1 using the holes left by the spot weld cutter.
Associated panels to be removed and replaced: Front wing, Front door.
