Nissan Tino - Video tutorial

Model: Nissan Tino - Years 2000-2006
Part: Valve
Operation: Valve guide rubbers replacement

When regenerating a cylinder head, it is a good idea to also replace the valve guide rubbers, which are generally always present in the emery gasket kit. Once the head has been placed on the workbench, use the special arc clamp to compact the valve return spring and separate the fixing shells from the plate; then extract the spring and the valve and use the special extractor to remove the oil seal rubber. Carefully clean the seat of the rubber, lubricate and insert the new one and then reposition the lubricated valve and then the spring with the plate to be fixed with the relative shells.

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.
