BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E91, E90 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How to replace the gear knob on a BMW 3 Series

Before we can begin, we will have to go and sit in the driver's seat of our BMW 3 Series. Let's start by grabbing the gear knob with both hands. At this point, we will have to forcefully pull the gear knob towards us, so as to be able to disengage and remove it, and we will have finished the disassembly. To mount the new gear knob, all we have to do is push it very hard on the gear lever until it fits. By the time we have completed this step, we will have successfully completed the replacement of the gear knob of a BMW 3 Series.

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.
