Honda Civic - Video tutorial

Model: Honda Civic MK 8 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Bushings
Operation: Replacement rear swing arm bushings

To replace the bush (or silentblock) of the rear suspension oscillating arm, it is necessary to remove the arm itself from the car. Therefore, lift the car on a lift, remove the wheel in correspondence with the suspension to be repaired (it is also necessary to remove the drum and the shoes to release the handbrake cable and the brake oil pipe connected to the piston) . Then remove the fixing pins of the swinging arm and remove it to place it on a workbench. Before removing the old bushing, make reference marks for the position of the bushing. Then extract the bushing with a hammer and insert the new one following the references previously reported. Reposition the rocker arm by refitting all the fixing pins and fixing the cable guides of the handbrake and of the brake hose in the appropriate holes. Finally, reassemble the shoes (paying attention to the positioning of the levers and springs), the drum and the wheel.

How do you adjust the clutch cable on the Kia Picanto?

To be able to adjust the clutch cable of the Kia Picanto you need to open the hood so that you have access to the components inside the engine compartment: in order to reach the cable you will need to remove some components on the right side, such as the battery and the air filter. Below them you will find the clutch cable, which will have to be adjusted by screwing or loosening the bolt placed at the end of the cable. This will make the pedal harder or softer; after the adjustment, it will be possible to assemble all the components by closing the hood.
