BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Arm
Operation: Replacement front arms

The tools required are a ratchet wrench, a set of fixed wrenches and the spare arm. Lift the machine and secure it with the special supports so that it cannot fall. Remove the wheel to access the mechanics. Having identified the broken arm, proceed to remove it by unscrewing all the bolts. Also remove the steering arm holder by unscrewing the two bolts. Also check the rest of the mechanics in particular the vibrastops that hold the arms, replace them if necessary. Reassemble the new arm and the rest of the mechanics previously removed.

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.
