BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Steering wheel
Operation: how to remove the steering wheel of the BMW e46

Do you want to remove the steering wheel of your BMW? Don't worry, in this video we will show you how to do it in the easiest and fastest way. First of all, disconnect the positive from the battery as a precaution. Using the appropriate slotted screwdriver insert it into the holes on the left and right behind the steering wheel, thus managing to detach the airbag. Once you have released the airbag from its seat, you can then disconnect the connectors on it, then you will have access to the steering wheel. With a ratchet wrench you can unscrew the central bolt of the steering wheel. Be careful not to lose the central bolt otherwise you will not be able to reassemble the steering wheel.

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.
