Let's see in this video how to remove the handbrake lever cover on a BMW 3 Series E90, following these simple steps. First of all, let's get inside the car and remove the handbrake lever boot, releasing it from the sides; after which we disconnect the electrical connector that we find below and detach the clamp to definitively remove the cap. At this point we try to leverage the cover in order to unlock it and make it come out of the lever, as shown in the video; so let's go to replace the component and reassemble everything!

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.
