Operation: How to remove the front seats in the BMW 3 Series?

In this tutorial we can see how to remove the front seats in the BMW 3 Series, an extremely simple and quick operation. Before proceeding, open the hood and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, in order to avoid accidental activation of the airbags. Then go inside the cabin, move the seat forward, unscrew the two front bolts of the brackets with a 16mm socket wrench and repeat the operation on the rear side. Finally, disconnect the connector located under the seat, remove the seat from the cabin and install any replacement following the reverse procedure.

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.
