BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 F31, F30 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Brake discs
Operation: Replacement discs on BMW 3 Series

Are the brake pads worn out? Do we want to replace the disk? Let's see how the pieces are disassembled. We lift the car on a column bridge, immediately after we go to remove the wheel (with a telescopic wrench or a compressed air drill). We unscrew the locking pin of the brake caliper, remove the same from the wheel support. We remove the pads from the wheel hub caliper with a screwdriver. We unscrew the clamping screws above the brake disc. We mount the new disc brake, fix the new pads on the brake caliper. We mount the brake caliper with the holder on the brake disc, tighten all the pins and mount the wheel. We replace the brake pads with identical pieces. We top up with brake fluid if necessary.

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.
