Vauxhall Astra - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra H - Years 2004-2010
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How do you install the armrest on the Opel Astra?

In order to install the armrest on the Opel Astra, you need to insert the corresponding armrest in the glove compartment located on the central tunnel, at the rear with respect to the handbrake. Here you can place the support bracket which must be fixed with the corresponding screws. Once the armrest has been fixed with the appropriate bolts, it will be necessary to lower and raise it to check that it does not affect the handbrake stroke and that it does not cause general problems while driving. To remove it, simply detach the upper part of the armrest from the bracket.

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.
