BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Bearing
Operation: BMW 3 Series E46 front bearing replacement

In this video tutorial we will show you how to remove and replace the front bearing of the BMW 3 Series E46. First, then we lift the car and proceed with disassembling the wheel: with a flat screwdriver we remove the brake caliper spring and with a tip we remove the brake caliper bolts and extract it. We also remove the pads and with a socket wrench unscrew the two bolts in order to remove the disc by unscrewing the central screws. We remove the upper cotter pin of the hub by levering with a screwdriver and extract the bearing! Replace it with the new one!

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.
