Removal Procedure
Important:
• When the rear rail end is kinked or damaged beyond repair rearward
of the rear crossmember, the service part must be cut from an underbody side
rail assembly. • Use the sleeved butt joint method to install rear frame ends. • When determining the area to perform the sectioning near a riv-nut
hole (within the recommended areas), choose a location that centers the sleeve
through the hole. This will ensure that riv-nut fasteners remain straight
during installation.
- Perform sleeved butt-joint sectioning as required.
- Apply anti-corrosion materials to all inner surfaces as necessary.
- After sectioning repairs are completed, attach panels and components as necessary.
Important: Determine sectioning joint location within the recommended area.
