Jeep Cherokee - Video tutorial

Model: Jeep Cherokee MK 2, XJ - Years 1984-2001
Part: V-belt
Operation: How to replace the drive belt in the Jeep Cherokee?

In this tutorial, we can see how to replace the service belt in the Jeep Cherokee, a very simple operation but one that requires good manual skills. First of all, we wait for the engine to be completely cold, then we open the hood and locate the belt in question. We then loosen the bolt of the alternator pulley with a 15mm wrench, unscrew the second indicated bolt, and loosen the tension of the belt tensioner. At this point, we can remove the old belt, position the replacement following the shown diagram, and put everything back together.

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.
