In today's video we will see the main steps to remove and replace the gear knob on an Alfa Romeo 159, but also on the Brera and many other cars of the Fiat group. First we get in the car and we go to remove the upper plastic cover of the gear knob, prying it with something thin; after which we go to unscrew the screw that we find below, using a socket wrench. At this point we pull up the gear knob to remove it, as shown in the video; we just have to mount the new knob, applying thread locker inside the screw.

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.
