BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Seat
Operation: Removing the rear seat on BMW 3

Removing the front seat of a BMW 3 Series? Quite simple operation, let's see. We move the seat back (with the electric buttons if present) and bring the seat up, then, with a socket wrench, unscrew the tightening screws placed on the front rail. As soon as the screws are removed, we move the seat forward with the shift buttons and remove the locking pins from the rear of the track. We disconnect the power supply terminals. We mount the front seat of the car and all the pins unscrewed earlier. We test the operation and the sliding over the tracks.

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.
