Part: Handle
Operation: How to replace the left rear door handle on your Chevrolet Suburban

To replace the outside handle of the Chevrolet Suburban, let's start by removing the door panel: using a small flathead screwdriver, remove the clip that holds the lock, the cover behind the door handle, the cover where the handle to close the hatch and the plastic where the electric window switch is (when it is removed, disconnect the connector); once the covers have been removed, unscrew the 3 screws (1 behind the door handle and the other 2 on the handle to close the door), with a 10 socket wrench, then remove the panel from the joints by pulling it and when it is removed from the joints at the bottom we lift it up and take it off. Once the panel has been removed, we release the cord from the handle, remove the plastic attached to the door; once the plastic has been removed, remove the black cap from the handle screw, with a 10 socket wrench unscrew the two handle screws (be careful not to let them fall into the door); with a small slotted screwdriver, release the clip that holds the door lock bar (bottom left), moving it; at this point, we remove the handle from the outside by also passing the lock bar. Once the handle has been removed, we clean the part where the handle was; take the new handle, insert the lock bar into the hole provided and ensure that the handle opening mechanism is in its seat; Once the handle is stuck, stop it by hooking the clip at the bottom left that holds the lock bar, screw in the two screws on the handle, helping us with adhesive tape, put the black cap on the handle screw back on, pass the window winder connector through the plastic which protects the bodywork and we attach it to the door. Now we take the door panel, hook it first with the hooks at the bottom, then pass the locking rod through, hook the handle cord, pass the window regulator connector and fit the panel to the door with taps with our hands . Now, with pliers, raise the lock rod, insert the 3 panel screws screwing them in with a 10 socket wrench, reconnect the window lifter connector and fit the plastic where the window lifter button is, put the screw caps and the lock rod.

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.
