How to replace the front hood holding pistons? Let's see how to replace the gas springs mounted inside the front hood of a BMW 3 Series. Lift the front hood and put it in safety, with a screwdriver we detach the metal hooks that block the worn piston on both ends (or unscrew the pins tightening).

How do you adjust the clutch cable on the Kia Picanto?

To be able to adjust the clutch cable of the Kia Picanto you need to open the hood so that you have access to the components inside the engine compartment: in order to reach the cable you will need to remove some components on the right side, such as the battery and the air filter. Below them you will find the clutch cable, which will have to be adjusted by screwing or loosening the bolt placed at the end of the cable. This will make the pedal harder or softer; after the adjustment, it will be possible to assemble all the components by closing the hood.
