How to adjust the handbrake cable on the Suzuki Grand Vitara

Model: Suzuki Vitara LY - Years 2015-2024
Part: Parking brake

In this video, we can see how to adjust the handbrake cable on the Suzuki Grand Vitara. We need to unscrew the screw located at the base of the central glove compartment, which also acts as a central armrest. There is one on the outside and two on the inside of the glove compartment. This way, we can lift the armrest and access the handbrake cables, which we can tighten with a common wrench. Tighten it so that the brake lever can come up to a maximum of three/four notches when fully raised. Now we can lower the glove compartment and tighten the three screws we loosened earlier. In the video, we can also see how to adjust the bearings: we need to remove the rear wheels and remove the rubber grommet on the disc; from there, we will adjust it using the tip of a screwdriver. Put the grommet back on. The job is done.

How to Repair the Key Spring of the Peugeot 207?

Over time, frequent use of the key's flip mechanism in the vehicle, dozens of times a day, inevitably leads to wear of the internal spring. As shown in this video, replacing the spring is quite simple and takes little time. After opening the casing halfway, first position the key, then the spring housing, and finally insert the spring into the previously mentioned housing. Close the casing by rotating it clockwise, ensuring all components fit perfectly, and test the key's flip mechanism.
