Retirer

  1. Remove the center ski cover. See High Voltage Ancillary Harness (Remove and Replace).
  2. Use a spring loaded center punch to mark locations for drilling.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Remarque
    Use a center punch to create a small dimple in the centre of each spot weld.
  3. Use spot weld cutters (2040257-00-A) to drill the front skid plate bracket.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Remarque
    • Use 3/8" size spot weld cutter.
    • Use chiselling technique at high speed to allow the chips to fly out as the cut exits the aluminium, or clean the cutter manually after short drilling.
    • Drill to a depth of no more than the thickness of the skid pate bracket (approximately 2.5mm).
  4. Separate the skid plate bracket from the HV battery.

    Remarque
    When cutter is deep enough, use a 38 mm scraper or plastic wheel weight removal chisel and light hammer blows to try to separate the skid plate from the battery. If it didn't get off easy, try to drill a little deeper.
  5. Apply masking tape to mark the mating surface.
  6. Use 120 grit sand paper to remove the paint on the mating surfaces.

Remplacer

  1. Create a stencil of holes for the new skid plate bracket.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Remarque
    Stick the masking tape on old skid plate bracket along the top edge. Use thin ballpoint pen to mark the holes and the skid plate bracket location on a masking tape piece.
  2. Mark the location of the new holes.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Remarque
    Remove the stencil from the old bracket and apply it to the new one strictly in the same location. Use center punch to create a small dimple in the center of each circle.
  3. Drill holes on the new skid plate bracket.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Remarque
    Secure the new skid plate bracket in a vise. Use 5/16" Spot Weld Cutter (2040257-00-A). Use chiselling technique at high speed to allow the chips to fly out as the cut exits the hole, or clean the cutter manually after short drilling.
  4. Remove the masking tape.
  5. Use 120 grit sand paper to clean the future mating surfaces.
  6. Fit the pieces together.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Remarque
    Try the skid plate bracket on the HV battery and check that the flat surfaces fit snugly together.
  7. Use IPA wipes to clean the mating areas, and allow 1 minute to dry.
  8. Apply adhesive (1086834-00-A).
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Remarque
    3M Static Mixing Nozzle for 200 ml cartridges; 3M Scotch-Weld EPX Manual applicator 200ml
  9. Install the skid plate bracket on the HV battery.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Remarque
    Use the long bolt from the ski plate. Screw it in by hand in the first hole. Apply slight pressure to the bracket using 2 wedges, and then slightly zip tie the wedge as shown on pictures.
  10. Set up the temperature measurement tool.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Remarque
    Set up the Digital multimeter with thermocouple attached to it. Be careful with the polarity of the plug. Press LPF button to change from °F to C°. Turn switch to Temp position. Check if the temperature readings are real. Attach thermocouple to the skid plate.
  11. Use a heat gun to reduce curing time of adhesive.
    Warning IconA warning icon, calling your attention to a possibly risky situation
    Avertissement
    When force curing adhesive in a repair area near the High Voltage Battery, do not allow the HighVoltage Battery to reach a temperature above 74°C (165°F). Heating the High Voltage Battery above 74°C (165°F) for an extended period could result in injury to personnel and/or damage tothe battery. Attach the Bosch digitally adjustable temperature heat gun to the Transmission Jack with the zip ties. Install it facing the skid plate bracket 10 cm from it. Curing time: 7 days at 23 ± 2 °C; 2 hours at 65 ± 2 °C.
  12. Allow 2 hours for the adhesive to cure.
  13. Cut the zip tie and remove the wedges, and then remove the bolt from the center ski cover first hole.
  14. Use self etching primer to touch up the bare metal spots.
  15. Install the center ski cover. See High Voltage Ancillary Harness (Remove and Replace).
