To replace the front suspension arm of the BMW series, lift the car and remove the front wheel, clean the fixing nuts, unscrew the nuts that secure the arm to the beam with 18mm wrenches, use a hydraulic jack to support the ball joint, and unscrew the ball joint nut with a 21mm socket.

Lower the jack, turn the steering wheel and remove the old arm, clean the surfaces and insert the new arm, reattach the ball joint, partially tighten the bolts on which we have applied some anti-seize copper paste.

Release the tension on the joint with the jack, tighten the fixings with a torque wrench and reassemble the wheel.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on a Kia Rio?

The tyre pressure warning light displayed on the instrument cluster of the Kia Rio can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the recommended pressure value: this value is indicated on the sticker affixed to the driver's door pillar. Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light.
