Alfa Romeo 159 - Video tutorial

Model: Alfa Romeo 159 MK 1 - Years 2005-2011
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How to remove the gear knob on Alfa Romeo 159

Do you want to replace the leather gear knob on Alfa Romeo 159? Let's see how to do it in this video: first remove the plastic plate on the knob with a screwdriver, then unscrew with a socket wrench or fix the gear knob. After removing the knob from the shift rod on the central tunnel, we carry out the assembly: we mount the new knob on the shift rod and screw the pin on it with the key. Finally we hook the plastic plate (with the identification numbers of the gears) on the gear knob. We check the correct assembly of the pieces.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
