USING THE DASHBOARD CROSS MEMBER REMOVAL TOOL Car. 1765
- Use this tool as indicated in the dashboard removal procedure.
- Fit the tool Car. 1765 as far as the stop (10).
Screw the rod (11) onto the body (10) as far as the stop.
Firmly lock tool body in the same way as a lock nut against the dashboard cross member nut while holding hexagon bolt.
- Unscrew the whole tool as far as the stop and tighten it gently (during this operation, the beam nut, which has a left-hand thread, screws into the beam and disengages it from the A-pillar).
- Hold the tool body (10) and unlock the rod (11).
Unscrew dashboard cross member rod to remove the tool.
WARNING
To maintain the adjustment of the dashboard cross member and therefore make refitting easier, only loosen the lock nut on one side.

- remove the A-pillar trims,
- position the dashboard protector to prevent damage.

To fit the special nut (6), position the mandrel across the crimped nut and tighten it onto the thrust nut (9).
WARNING
Each time a panel is stripped in the workshop (e.g. when drilling), degrease and wipe the area and then use a fine paintbrush to apply the following:
- a pre-treatment primer,
- a two-part primer,
- paint in the vehicle body colour.
USING TOOL CAR. 1504
- Turn the bolt using a 24 spanner, holding the tool handle manually.
WARNING
The operator should be able to feel when the crimping is complete (more force required for tightening). The insert has been crimped correctly when there is no more rotational play, carry out this check before unscrewing the "pull rod - mandrel" assembly.
