How do you dismantle a rear brake cylinder on a Fiat Punto? Follow these steps: position the car on a column lift, loosen the bolts with a telescopic spanner, and raise it to a comfortable height for access. Unscrew the bolts and remove the wheel, then start unscrewing the hub bolts (using a socket spanner) to detach it from its support.

Prepare to remove the cylinder next to the handbrake shoes on the hub as shown in the video. Clean all dirt and debris from the removed parts with brushes.

Before reassembly, lubricate the parts as shown in the video. Apply grease to the bolts and prepare all parts for assembly; install the new brake cylinder and the associated bolts.

Place the wheel back on the hub and tighten all bolts, then lower the car to the ground.
