BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Arm
Operation: Suspension swing arm disassembly instructions

The swing arm of the suspension has a triangular shape and is fixed at three points: to the wheel hub through a ball hinge head, to the car frame at the rear through a support that contains a rubber damper and then to the cradle motor at the front through another ball-hinged head. Then remove the head fixing nut from the hub side and extract it with a fork extractor; then proceed with disassembling the fixing pins of the rear support and then the fixing nut of the front head: at this point it is possible to remove the oscillating arm from its seat.

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.
