Lancia Ypsilon - Video tutorial

Model: Lancia Ypsilon Y1, MK 1, 840, Ypsilon 1 - Years 1996-2003
Part: Shock absorbers
Operation: Shock absorber replacement on Lancia cars

Loosen the bolts of the affected wheel, jack up the car and remove the wheel itself. Disconnect the two wires connected to the disc (one concerns the ABS and you have to remove its life with the Allen key), then unscrew the two screws that secure the shock absorber to the front spindle, finally unscrew the upper screw of the shock absorber. Use a 6mm Allen wrench and a 19mm wrench to unscrew the shock absorber stem, as shown in the video. Once this is done, you can remove the top cover. Remove the shock absorber from its seat and insert the new one obviously proceeding backwards for assembly.

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.
