Hyundai Getz - Video tutorial

Model: Hyundai Getz MK 1 - Years 2002-2011
Part: Shock absorbers
Operation: How do you replace the rear shock absorber of the Hyundai Getz?

In order to replace the rear shock absorber of the Hyundai Getz, you need to lift the car using a jack or a lift, so that the corresponding wheel is not in contact with the ground: then you will need to unscrew the bolts that fix it to its hub, removing it and gaining access to the components in its rear part. After the wheel has been removed, you can unscrew the screw that secures the shock absorber at the bottom: to unscrew the screw located at the top, you will need to open the rear hatch and remove the inner side panel of the trunk, corresponding to the shock absorber. By doing so, you can unscrew its screw, completely remove the shock absorber, and replace it with a new one.

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.
