Citroen Saxo - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen Saxo MK 1 - Years 1996-2004
Part: Valve
Operation: Valve stem seal replacement

Regular maintenance is required to keep your car always in perfect working order. The valve stem seals are also involved in this matter. With a little knowledge of mechanics, a good dose of dexterity and the right tools, replacement is an operation that you can be able to do completely by yourself. To carry out this replacement it is absolutely not necessary to disassemble any mechanical part of the car. With a wrench the protective cover of the valve must be removed, so that you are in front of it, that they must be taken and pulled with a twisting motion.

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.
