BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Bushings
Operation: Replacement of suspension arm bushings

The tools required are a ratchet wrench, a set of fixed wrenches, the driver and spare bushings. Lift the machine on the bridge to access the mechanics. Once the connection of the suspension has been identified, remove it by unscrewing all the bolts. Use a small hammer and a pin to get the bolts out of their seat after having thoroughly sprayed them with flux. Remove the worn bushings. Once the old bushing has been removed, insert the new one into the arm using the special inserter. Reassemble the rest of the mechanics previously removed.

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.
