Video tutorial

In this video tutorial, you will learn how to remove the rear brake shoes from a Fiat Punto S Cabrio. First, lift the car at the affected side and remove the wheel.

Then, unscrew the bolts using a 12 mm spanner and with a few taps of a hammer or a proper puller, remove the drum. After removing it, take off the three springs using pliers: now slide out the brake shoes by removing the retainers.

To remove the last brake shoe, remember to detach the handbrake spring. Now you can fit the new brake shoes!

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on a Kia Rio?

Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light.
