Chevrolet Sail - Video tutorial

Model: Chevrolet Sail MK 2 - Years 2010-2017
Part: Brake pads
Operation: How to replace the brake pads in a Chevrolet Sail

In this video tutorial we can see how the brake pads are replaced in a Chevrolet Sail; the first thing to do is to purchase quality brake pads from an authorized dealer; lift the bonnet and secure it with a special rod; remove the brake fluid reservoir cap; with a 19 wrench we have to loosen the wheel bolts; next step lift the wheel off the ground using a jack and put on safety stands; once the wheel is off the ground, we must finish unscrewing the bolts completely and removing the wheel; place the wheel under the vehicle for greater safety. Use two wrenches to unscrew the brake caliper nuts, as shown in the video. Once the two nuts are removed, we connect the part with a wire to the shock absorber (to prevent it from falling). Now we need to remove the two old worn pads and install the new ones (make sure the parts are clean). "If you can't do this job of replacing the brake pads well, it would be best to go to a licensed professional.".

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.
