Replacement of the front control arm.

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E91, E90 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Arm

We place the car on a plane and lift it, with the jack in the front left position. Remove the wheel. Locate the arm and, if necessary, spray the fixing release spray on the bolts that block it. To unscrew the head of the same, it is necessary to remove a piece of plasticized protection inside the mudguard which makes the disassembly operation problematic. Unscrew, using the appropriate wrench, the bolt that connects the arm to the wheel. Loosen the arm from its position with a hammer. Now unscrew the bolt that blocks the head of the arm using the appropriate key. Also in this case, to remove it from this position it is necessary to remove the plasticized protection inside the mudguard. At this point we extract the arm and we can replace it with the new one. For the assembly operations, we can follow all the operations seen by executing them in the opposite direction. The replacement was done on a BMW 3 Series.

Where is the battery located in the Renault Master van?

In this video, we can see where the battery is located in the Renault Master van, useful in case we need to replace it. As shown, the battery is not located in the classic engine compartment housing but is instead inside the cabin, precisely under the access step to the driver's cabin. To access it, it will be sufficient to remove the latter by removing all the relevant fixing screws. To remove the battery, it will be enough to unscrew the bolt of the lower bracket and, starting from the negative, disconnect both terminals.
