Vauxhall Astra - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra H - Years 2004-2010
Part: Drive shaft
Operation: Replacement of the front axle shaft of the Opel Astra H.

Let's see in this video the instructions on how to remove and replace the front axle shaft of the Opel Astra H. First we lift the car and go to remove the front wheel; after which we unscrew the central bolt of the wheel bearing, using a socket wrench. At this point we disconnect the semi-shaft from the swinging arm, unscrewing the screws of the pins; we unscrew the bolts that we find at the base of the front axle shaft, in order to remove it, as shown in the video. We just have to replace it with the new one, with the original spare part, applying the reverse procedure!

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.
