Part: Brake oil pipes
Operation: Guide to replacing the brake system pipes

The video shows how the brake system oil pipes are replaced if they are damaged due to wear. Clearly, as this is a primary system for car safety, it is advisable to have the work carried out by a professional mechanic. The well done and detailed video shows the few tools necessary for the operation, after having placed the car on a stand, the wheel is removed and the old hose is disassembled from the brake caliper and then replaced, the the only recommendation is not to let air into the braking system which would lead to the need to bleed it, considerably lengthening the work time.

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.
