Alfa Romeo 159 - Video tutorial

Model: Alfa Romeo 159 MK 1 - Years 2005-2011
Part: Brake discs
Operation: Replacing the front brake discs on Alfa Romeo 159 (939)

Let's see in this video how to remove and replace the front brake discs on an Alfa Romeo 159 (939). First of all we lift the car and we go to remove the front wheel, unscrewing the bolts; then we lever inside the piston to make it fall, then unscrewing the fixing screws of the caliper that we find on the rear, as shown in the video. At this point we extract the caliper and the old brake pads; with a 19 mm wrench we unscrew the disc bolts, removing them and replacing them with new ones. We just have to follow the video to the end for the reassembly!

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.
