Alfa Romeo 159 - Video tutorial

Model: Alfa Romeo 159 MK 1 - Years 2005-2011
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How do you replace the gear knob on the Alfa Romeo 159?

In order to replace the Alfa Romeo 159 gear knob, you have to pry an object such as a screwdriver in order to remove the circular cover located in the upper part of the knob. Once this has been detached, it will be possible to have access to the screw below: the latter will have to be loosened so that the knob can be released from its housing. In this way it will be possible to detach it from the upper part of the gear lever, inserting the new one. The latter must be fixed with the relative screw and covered with its circular cover.

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.
