Operation: How to replace the ignition cylinder in the Hyundai Elantra?

In this tutorial, we can see how to replace the ignition cylinder in the Hyundai Elantra, a very simple and quick operation. Before doing this, we open the engine hood and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, in order to work safely. We start by unscrewing the screws located below the steering column, then we remove the cover by levering it with a spatula. Next, we remove the outer ring of the cylinder, insert the key and turn it to the "ACC" position. At this point, all that remains is to unlock the fixing clip accessible from the lower hole, remove the cylinder, and install the replacement.

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.
