Honda CR-V - Video tutorial

Model: Honda CR-V MK 1 - Years 1995-2001
Part: Shock absorbers
Operation: How to install the rear shock absorbers

Shock absorbers in a vehicle are needed to ensure a smoother ride and after traveling a total of miles they wear out and need to be replaced. This guide shows how to replace the rear ones. It is advisable to use a mechanical lift to lift the machine off the ground, loosen the nuts and bolts of the tires and remove the wheels, lubricating the axles. The upper attachments are then disconnected and the rubber bands that are used to keep the shock absorbers under tension are put in place. The shock absorbers must be able to adapt perfectly to their threading rods. The new shock absorbers can be fitted by tightening the nuts and bolts with the wrench. Once they have been mounted in the correct position the machine can be lowered from the lift.

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.
