See how to replace the front wishbone on a Nissan Micra K12: lift the car with a jack and place it on axle stands; remove the affected front wheel, unscrew the lower ball joint bolt with a 17 mm spanner, and then loosen the wishbone bolt at the subframe with a 19 mm spanner.

Use a hammer to free the joint.

To facilitate this operation, it is advisable to use WD-40 and wait ten minutes. To install the new wishbone, fit it without fully tightening the bolts, first securing it to the ball joint, then to the subframe.

The final tightening will require 55/65 Nm + 1/4 turn, while for the subframe bolt, 70/80 Nm. Reconnect any ABS sensors.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
