Mazda Rx 8 - Video tutorial

Model: Mazda Rx 8 MK 1 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Front bumper
Operation: Removing the front bumper

To remove the front bumper, first remove the screws in the engine compartment, just behind the grille. Then unscrew the screw and unlock the joints that hold the mudguard and the bumper together. After having also unscrewed the screws on the lower part of the bumper, it is possible to remove the bumper, being careful to unlock it without damaging the joints that make it integral with the car. During removal, you must pay attention to the fog lights, they must be disconnected and, to avoid damaging the mudguard, they must be removed evenly, preferably from the central part.

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.
