BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E91, E90 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Brake pads
Operation: how to replace the rear brake pads on a BMW 3 Series

Let's see in this video how to replace the rear brake pads on a BMW 3 Series. First of all: we lift the car on a column spike to the desired height, immediately after we go to remove the rim (with a telescopic wrench or compressed air drill ) with their respective pins. We unscrew the locking pin of the brake caliper, remove the same from the wheel support. We remove the pads from the wheel hub caliper with a screwdriver, then mount the new pads on the brake caliper. We mount the brake caliper with the holder on the brake disc, tighten all the pins and mount the wheel. Let's get ready to carry out the same operations on the other calipers on the car.

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.
