BMW Serie 1 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 1 F20, F21, MK 2 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Brake pads
Operation: How do you replace the rear brake pads on the BMW 1 Series?

The replacement of the rear brake pads of the BMW 1 Series is carried out by lifting the car with a jack or a bridge, so that the corresponding wheel is not in contact with the ground. Once the wheel has been raised, it will be necessary to unscrew the bolts that secure the wheel, removing it completely. In this way it will be possible to have access to the brake caliper by unscrewing the bolts that secure it to the relative disc: then the pads inside it can be extracted and replaced with new spare parts. After replacement, the caliper and its disc can be re-fitted.

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.
