Nissan Qashqai - Video tutorial

Model: Nissan Qashqai J10 - Years 2006-2014
Part: Shock absorbers
Operation: How to disassemble and replace shock absorbers

The guide shows in detail all the steps and tools required to replace the shock absorbers. First of all, we clean the nuts to be unscrewed from the earth and dirt that have accumulated on them, a spray of specific oil to unscrew the bolts and we can proceed to unscrew step by step as shown in the video until the shock absorber is released from the axle. At this point we open the bonnet, this is where we have to work to definitively free the shock absorber, we remove any brackets and covers, the wipers, the fairing under the windscreen and thus we arrive at the bolt for the definitive un-anchoring of the shock absorber. We remove the protective sheath, which we reassemble in the new piece and proceed to put the shock absorber back in its seat, re-screw the upper bolt, anchor it to the axle from below, and finally reassemble everything.

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.
