Replacement Of The Weld Nut And Reinforcement

  1. Remove the interior trim panel to expose the suspect anchor point. For additional information, refer to INTERIOR TRIM AND ORNAMENTATION .
  2. Determine if the weld nut only or the weld nut and reinforcement and weld nut are missing. If the B- or C- or D-pillar safety belt anchor nuts or reinforcements are stripped or missing, a new nut or reinforcement should be installed.

    To install a missing weld nut only, proceed to Step 3.

  3. Obtain the correct M12 weld nut and a standard washer to perform the procedure.
  4. Drill out two 8 mm (5/16 in) diameter holes adjacent to the clearance hole.
  5. Obtain a length of copper welding wire and feed through clearance hole in door frame opening until it becomes visible at the access hole.
  6. Pull the wire through so that it may be secured to the weld nut and washer.
  7. Pull the wire back up to the weld nut clearance hole.
  8. Hold the weld nut securely in place. Use the MIG Wire Feed Welder 106-00053 to plug weld the nut in place at the two 8 mm (5/16 in) diameter holes previously drilled.
  9. Metal finish as required.
  10. Verify the nut is securely in place.
