Definitions

DISCONNECT & CONNECT: Disconnect a part or assembly by unbolting and/or unplug, and set it aside without physically removing it from the vehicle to gain access or removal of an adjacent part. The disconnected part or assembly is then reconnected during the assembly process.

REMOVE AND INSTALL (R&I): Remove a part or assembly, set it aside and reinstall it later. The time shown includes the alignment that can be done by shifting the part or assembly.

REMOVE AND REPLACE (R&R): Remove a part or assembly identified as included within the Procedure Explanation and replace the part or assembly with a new one. The time shown includes the alignment that can be done by shifting the part or assembly.

OVERHAUL (O/H): Remove an assembly, disassemble, clean and visually inspect it, replace needed parts, reassemble and reinstall on the vehicle making any necessary adjustments. There are items which are included in the overhaul operation that may be replaced individually. These will have a time assigned for a stand-alone operation. For verification, refer to the Procedure Explanation for the operation being performed.

OVERLAP: If adjoining parts are being replaced, there is an overlap consideration in that both individual operations include common parts attached to both panels. A deduction must, therefore, be made from the total of the individual operations to compensate for the two or more repeated operations in each sub-task. Similarly, if a part has already been removed, it makes access to other parts easier.

NEW UNDAMAGED PART: Refers to a replacement part from the vehicle manufacturer without exterior or interior trim or attached parts.

BOLTED PARTS AND ASSEMBLIES: Refers to bolted items that may need to be removed for access. Due to the variety of these items and vehicles, time to remove and install or replace them is not included. Refer to the specific Procedure Explanation for examples of these items.

ORDER BY APPLICATION: Many parts vary in usage according to differences in colors, materials, engines, transmissions, VIN, year and other factors. Where there are occasional variations regarding the part price, a representative part number at times is selected and the phrase "Order By Application'' is footnoted to the part's description. Consult the dealer parts department for exact price and/or part number information.
