Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 Epoca - Years 1957-1975
Part: V-belt
Operation: How to replace the service belt on a Fiat 500

Before we can start, we will have to go and open the rear engine hood of our Fiat 500. Let's start by unscrewing and removing the three ten-piece bolts that secure the dynamo pinion protection. Once we have removed these three bolts, we can remove the protection, simply by sliding it off the dynamo. At this point, we can go and remove the worn service belt. To mount the new service belt and close the dynamo pinion, all we have to do is simply repeat these few steps in reverse, and we will have successfully completed the replacement.

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.
