BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Airbags
Operation: How do you remove the BMW 3 Series steering wheel airbag?

In order to remove the BMW 3 Series steering wheel airbag, you need to rotate the steering wheel to the right and left, so that the screws located in its rear part can be completely loosened. Once these screws have been removed, it will be possible to release the internal fastening clips of the airbag, extracting it from inside its housing; before carrying out this operation it is recommended to disconnect the car battery. At this point the connectors connected to the back of the airbag can be disconnected and the new spare part can be connected to them.

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.
