Reshaping 2-6

Correction of the Damaged Area

1. Remove any related parts.
   

   NOTE: See the Shop Manual.

2. Connect the frame straightener to the vehicle body.
   

   The side sill is flangeless to allow reshaping by pulling it out.

   Use the horizontal pinch welds for anchoring the vehicle.

   

   
   

3. Pull out and straighten damaged areas.
   Apply load to the damaged section and pull on it until the section is almost restored to its original shape. Do not pull out more than necessary.
   

   

   
   
4. Check that the part of the body is more or less restored to its original shapes. Check the original positions using the body dimensional drawings.
