Lexus GS - Video tutorial

Model: Lexus GS - Years 1991-1997
Part: Engine
Operation: Crankshaft pulley disassembly instructions

Many crankshaft pulleys are equipped with an elastic damper which has the function of dampening the vibrations generated by the operation of the engine itself; this rubber element, over time, tends to yield and before it detaches completely it begins to generate particular noise: therefore it is absolutely essential to replace the pulley before it yields; then lift the car and remove the lower protection, remove the auxiliary belt and remove the crankshaft pulley: once placed on the bench, a special extractor is required to replace the pulley itself.

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.
