Subaru Forester - Video tutorial

Model: Subaru Forester SJ, MK 4 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How to make a DIY skid plate for a Subaru Forester

How to make a skid plate for the oil pan for the Subaru Forester, using parts taken from another car: in this specific case it is the Jeep Wrangler transmission skid plate owned by the youtuber himself. The piece had exactly the same angle as needed and so he reused it. To be sure he made a cardboard model with the same measurements to see that it fits perfectly. Of course he had to create brackets to make the piece fit the holes on it and those on the vehicle body. An adapter bar had to be made, and placed on the front of the vehicle, to then weld the piece recovered from the Jeep, and screw it to the bodywork.

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.
