Honda CR-V - Video tutorial

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

Shock absorbers are used to ensure a smooth ride. After the vehicle has traveled a lot of kilometers, they can suffer wear. First the machine is lifted off the ground, the nuts and bolts are loosened and the wheels are removed. All the lower fixing screws connected to the shock absorbers must be loosened, then the upper attachments are disconnected with the aid of a pinion. In this way it is possible to insert the rubber bands that are used to keep the shock absorbers in tension. When you realize that the shock absorbers have perfectly adapted to their threading rods you can remove the rubber bands and you can start installing the new shock absorber series.

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.
