Porsche Boxster - Video tutorial

Model: Porsche Boxster 986, MK 1 - Years 1996-2004
Part: Hydraulic pistons
Operation: Replacing the hood pistons of a Porsche Boxter

Does the piston that holds the front hood need to be changed? Let's see how the Porsche piston is removed. We lift the front hood and put it in safety, with a screwdriver we detach the metal hooks that block the worn piston rises two ends (or we unscrew the locking pins). We proceed in the same way for the disassembly / assembly of the twin piston. We mount the new piece on the car, put the piston in safety with the metal clips. We use parts to replace damaged ones, equal in length and type of pressure. We test the operation of the front hood.

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.
