BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E91, E90 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: disassembly of the knob on BMW 3 Series

Let's see in this video how to disassemble the knob on BMW 3 Series. To begin with, grab the knob with both hands and pull it upwards, then, unhook the leather cover from the edge of the central tunnel with a plastic spatula . To carry out the assembly: take the cap and insert it into the rod on the central tunnel (if the cap is damaged, replace it with a new one), then, insert the new knob and make a rotary movement until it fits into it. Finally we hook the clamps of the leather cap on the central tunnel.

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.
