Alfa Romeo Giulietta - Video tutorial

Model: Alfa Romeo Giulietta MK 1 - Years 2010-2020
Part: Hand brake
Operation: How to adjust the handbrake of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta.

In today's video, we will see how to adjust the handbrake lever of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta. First of all, we recommend starting with the handbrake fully pulled. We start by working on the rear part, removing the air conditioning cover and its support. In front of us, we find the fixing screw to adjust the handbrake force. Further configurations can be made by removing the cover under the handbrake. Once this is done, we can proceed to reassemble the components, and the job is done.

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.
