Jeep Grand Cherokee - Video tutorial

Model: Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ, MK 2 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Hydraulic pistons
Operation: How to replace the hydraulic pistons of the Jeep Grand Cherokee

Let's see in this video how to remove and replace the hydraulic pistons of the rear hatch of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, in simple steps. First of all we open the tailgate and start unscrewing the screw that we find at the base of the hydraulic piston, and then remove the upper one as well (using a socket wrench); we keep our tailgate raised during the operation. At this point we replace the hydraulic pistons with new ones, of the right type, inserting and fixing them perfectly; in the same way we will also replace the pistons of the bonnet.

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.
