Part: Manufacturer's coat of arms
Operation: Badge replacement on BMW 3

Replacing the emblem mounted on the front hood? We see the disassembly from above the hood. Let's get some scratch-resistant plastic levers, then, pry between the emblem and the front hood plate until it detaches from the bodywork. Once the piece has been detached, remove it from its seat. We clean the surface and remove traces of adhesive (if any). We position the emblem perfectly on the front hood plate and push with our hands until the emblem fits perfectly. Finally we double check if we have assembled everything perfectly. Let's test if we have glued the coat of arms well.

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.
