Back-To-Basics: It May Take More Than One Procedure
I-CAR · December 13, 2022
Summary
This article emphasizes that a single repair procedure often requires performing multiple related procedures, such as removing adjacent parts, replacing one-time-use components, and applying specific corrosion protection or adhesives. Technicians must look beyond the primary document to locate hyperlinked or separate procedures in the body repair manual to ensure a complete repair.
What to do on the job
Locate and perform all secondary procedures, part removals, and material specifications (corrosion protection, fasteners, adhesives) associated with the primary repair, even if they are not detailed in the main procedure document.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the labor time and material costs for necessary secondary procedures (such as R&I of adjacent panels, bumper covers, and trim) and required consumables (adhesives, seam sealers, and corrosion protection) that are not explicitly detailed within the single primary replacement procedure.
