Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 Epoca - Years 1957-1975
Part: Suspensions
Operation: Fiat 500 vintage front leaf spring replacement

In this video tutorial we will show you how to replace the front leaf springs of the vintage Fiat 500 L. We lift the car with the stands and unscrew the joint bolts with a 17 mm socket wrench: to remove them we have to loosen the spring tension by lifting with a jack and then pull the bolt to extract it. At this point, extract the crossbow and replace it with the new one: the video perfectly illustrates how to replace it and all the useful tips for correct installation. We advise you to buy original spare parts for the correct functioning of your components!

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.
