Operation: Pad and brake disc replacement on Nissan Qashqai

Let's see the replacement of the rear brake discs of a Nissan Qashqai and the relative pads. After removing the rear wheel, we unscrew the pins of the brake caliper by detaching it from the support: we detach the brake pads. Remove the caliper support and unscrew the pins on the disc brake (torx insert screwdriver), pull the disc towards us with our hands in order to remove it from the ruta hub. We assemble the brake disc with all the pins attached, we tighten the caliper support to the disc and the pads, then, we assemble the brake caliper. We assemble the wheel after replacing the parts.

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.
