Operation: How to remove the engine mount of a BMW 3 Series

We see in this video the disassembly of the engine support of a BMW 3 Series. We pull the lever of the engine compartment opening and lift the front hood, let's put it in safety. With a socket wrench, unscrew the metal bar located to the left of the motor (remove the wheel), immediately afterwards, remove the pins unscrewed previously, unscrew the tightening pins left around the motor support plate with our socket wrench (pull them outside the engine compartment). Finally we extract the piece from the engine compartment and replace it with the new one, tighten the pins around the support. At the end of the assembly we close the engine hood.

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.
