BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Bushings
Operation: How to replace the suspension bushing in the BMW E46?

Replacing the suspension bushing in the BMW 3 Series E46 is a simple operation. In addition to the replacement bushing, we need a 16mm socket wrench and a jack to facilitate access to the bottom. We lift the car and go under it, near the suspension. With the socket wrench, remove the two bolts that hold the bushing fixed to the frame, then extract it from the suspension arm. Force may need to be applied. Once extracted, mount the new bushing making sure it is well inserted and fix it by tightly screwing the two bolts.

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.
