BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E36 - Years 1990-2001
Part: Handle
Operation: How to remove the external door handle of a BMW 3 Series

Before we can start, we will have to open the front door of our BMW 3 Series. Let's start then by going to disengage and remove the side cover that protects the fixing screw of the external door handle. After that, we will have to unscrew and remove the screw we have reached. By doing so, we will have freed the frame of the external handle, which we will have to remove. At this point, we will have to unhook the clip that fixes the handle, and then remove the handle itself. When we have completed this step, we will have completed the disassembly, and we will be free to assemble the new handle.

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.
