Model: Mazda 6 MK 1, GG - Years 2002-2008
Part: Pump
Operation: How to replace the water pump in a Mazda 6

Useful tools for this operation are: a new pump with characteristics suitable for the car in question, a set of metric sockets, a ratchet and extension, a serpentine belt tool, a crowbar, a 10 mm wrench, a torque wrench, pliers, a drain pail, a spare coolant, a jack and jack stands. The first operation is to let the liquid already present in the vehicle flow, raising it and opening the special support with a screwdriver. After that, the front hood must be opened and the mechanical disassembly of the devices visible in front of the pump must be carried out, thanks to the aid of suitable tools. The procedure will be simple in theoretical terms as it consists in a mere replacement of the pieces.

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.
