6. Remove the screws securing the over structure to the
bulk head clip.
7. Remove the tie rod boot. Remove the lower steering
shaf
t nut.
8. When all of the noted fasteners and nuts are removed,
the
next step is to heat where the bulkhead clip mates
with the engine side support brace.
9. Wearing heat resistant glo
ves, use a propane gas
torch to heat the adhesive between the two
components.
Apply torch until adhesive begins to crackle. During
th
is time, the adhesive may smoke and bubble.
Continue heating the area until the components can
be sepa
rated.
10. Once the adhesive bond is broken, remove the left-
sid
e bulkhead clip from the chassis. Note the old
(residual) adhesive. If the component is to be re-used,
the adhesive must be completely removed. See
Bonded Component Surface Preparation section.
Keep flame away from flammable materials. Use torch
in well-ventilated area.
Only apply heat to area that requires adhesive bond
separation. Do not apply heat to areas of adhesive
where bond line separation is not needed. Doing so will
require removing the part, removing adhesive, and then
re-applying new adhesive.
