Volkswagen Golf - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf V, MK 5, Golf 5 - Years 2003-2008
Part: Bearing
Operation: How to replace front wheel bearings on Volkswagen Golf 5

In today's video tutorial we will see how to disassemble and replace the front wheel bearing of the fifth series Volkswagen Golf, by following these simple steps. First of all we lift the car and remove the front wheel; then let's unscrew the screws of the brake caliper, in order to remove it, as shown in the video. At this point we use a T30 torx key to unscrew the disc screws; then we use a 27 mm socket wrench to unscrew the nut of our wheel bearing, in order to remove it and replace it with the new one. So let's put it all back together!

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.
