This video shows you how to replace the valve stem seals on the engine of a Volvo S70. In the video, the head is already disassembled and ready for the replacement operation. Take the extractor and apply it to the valve stem seal, making a rotary and extraction movement. Then insert the mounting sleeve in order to facilitate the extraction of the stem seal. During this operation, lubricant must be applied to the stem and seal. Position the new gasket on the stem exerting pressure with the Torx screwdriver coupling.

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.
