Mazda Mx 5 - Video tutorial

Model: Mazda Mx 5 MK 1 - Years 1989-1997
Part: Steering wheel
Operation: How do you replace the steering wheel on the Mazda MX-5?

In order to remove the Mazda MX-5 steering wheel, the battery must first be disconnected to prevent the airbag from bursting. Then you will need to unscrew four cubes of ten that are located behind the steering wheel, and remove the airbag by disconnecting its connector. At this point it will be necessary to unscrew the central 21 nut that holds the steering wheel fixed to the steering column: when this nut has been unscrewed, it will be possible to remove the old steering wheel. Once the old steering wheel has been removed, it will be possible to go and install the new steering wheel and fix it again following all the previous operations in reverse.

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.
