BMW X3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW X3 F25, MK 2 - Years 2010-2017
Part: Brake pads
Operation: How to replace the rear brake pads in the BMW X3?

In this tutorial, we can see how to replace the rear brake pads in the BMW X3. First of all, we lift one side of the vehicle with a jack, then we remove the wheel, disconnect the connector located at the back of the caliper, and unscrew the two bolts indicated with a 15mm wrench. Then, we extract the old brake pads and insert the replacements. If the car is equipped with an electronic parking brake, we remove the corresponding motor as shown in the video, rotate the mechanism clockwise, and push the piston inside the cylinder using a clamp. Finally, we reassemble everything following the reverse procedure and repeat the operation on the opposite side.

Disassembly of the gear knob on the Lancia Ypsilon 2

Today we will see, in this video tutorial, how to remove and replace the gear knob on the second series Lancia Ypsilon, but also on the Lancia Musa, in simple and quick steps. We get inside the car and start by removing the old gear knob; to do this, just unscrew it anticlockwise, as shown in the video. At this point we also remove the gearshift gaiter, in order to replace, if necessary, it too; we just have to fix the new headset and insert the new gear knob, screwing it correctly and without creating play on the gear lever!
