Audi A6 - Video tutorial

Model: Audi A6 C5, MK 2 - Years 1997-2004
Part: Arm
Operation: Replacement of the boot and maintenance of the coupling

In this tutorial the boot of the joint of a drive shaft of an Audi A6 is replaced. Remove the wheel at the joint to be worked on. Remove the brake disc with a 17mm Allen key. Remove the piece that protects the joint and then unscrew the bolts that lock the drive shaft. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right and slide out the drive shaft. Place the latter on a bench vise and remove the clamp that secures the worn joint boot. Extract (also with the help of a hammer) the joint. Disassemble the joint and carefully wash all of its parts. Dry each piece and, if you are also performing maintenance on the other joint of the drive shaft, swap the components (right with left and vice versa) to prolong its efficiency. Reassemble the joint carefully. Take a new boot and mount it on the drive shaft; mount and fasten the clamp that blocks it. Let the air out of the cuff using a small screwdriver as a lever to vent it. Reassemble everything by performing the disassembly operations in reverse.

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.
