Alfa Romeo 159 - Video tutorial

Model: Alfa Romeo 159 MK 1 - Years 2005-2011
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: Guide to replacing the gear knob of the Alfa Romeo 159 - Brera

Let's find out in this guide the main steps that will allow us to remove and replace the gear knob of the Alfa Romeo 159, but also of the Brera and on some Fiat models. First of all we get on board the car and go to equip ourselves with something thin to remove the small gear cover; after which we use a 10 mm socket wrench to unscrew the central screw of our knob. At this point we forcefully pull the knob upwards to remove it, replacing it with the new one; then we reassemble everything, applying the reverse procedure!

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.
