Suzuki Grand Vitara - Video tutorial

Model: Suzuki Grand Vitara MK 1 - Years 1999-2005
Part: Arm
Operation: Disassembly of the stezo tie rod head

In order to remove the head of the tie rod (or axial joint) of the steering box, lift the car on a lift and remove the front wheel; start by loosening the lock nut on the tie rod, immediately behind the head; then proceed with disassembling the nut fixing the pin of the spherical hinge of the head on the hub, without removing it completely, so as to be able to give a few hammer blows on the pin itself without damaging it; once the head has been extracted from the hub, unscrew it from the tie rod taking care to count the number of revolutions: it is useful because the new head must be screwed in by the same number of revolutions to maintain a reference of the toe.

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.
