BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E91, E90 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Shock absorbers
Operation: BMW 3 Series shock absorber replacement

In today's video tutorial we will see how to disassemble the front shock absorbers of a BMW 3 Series. First of all, we open the engine hood of the car and we go to unscrew the upper bolt of the shock absorber, with a ratchet wrench: then we lift the car and remove the wheel , unscrewing its bolts. At this point we are going to unscrew the bolts of our arm, connected to the braking system; once separated, remove the central pin and move the brake away. Now we can finally pull the shock absorber and replace it with the new one: then follow the video for reassembly!

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.
