BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Handle
Operation: Removing the external door handle

In order to remove the external door handle, it is not necessary to remove the panel since a fastening system has been set up which allows for a very easy and quick disassembly. Start by removing the rubber pad on the inside edge of the door right in correspondence with the handle; then unscrew the hexagonal screw that secures the handle to the door and, using a plastic lever, release and extract the part of the handle in which the lock is housed; still accessing from the same hole, unscrew the smaller hexagonal screw and remove the 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.
