BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Arm
Operation: Replacement of the control arm.

Lift, with the jack, the front part of the car from the part where we have to work. Remove the front wheel. Identify the position of the arm and, before proceeding with the disassembly, unscrew the bolt that connects the anti-roll control to the wheel. Now unscrew the bolt that connects the arm to the wheel. Unscrew the other bolts that fix the arm in its position (to the axis of the car and to the bodywork) with the appropriate keys. Remove the arm and replace it with the new one which must be mounted following the same operations seen in the images but carried out following the opposite procedure. The car on which the maintenance operation seen in the images is carried out is a BMW 3 Series.

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.
