Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: Replacement gear knob on Fiat 500

Using a small flat-head screwdriver, a plastic lever or a cutter, pry the joint of the upper part of the knob, the one with the design of the various gears. Carry out the operation until this area is removed, then also remove the white protection present under it. Once you have arrived here, you will now have free access to the gear knob fixing screw: to do well in unscrewing it, I recommend using a ratchet wrench. Once this is done you can easily remove the knob. Obviously proceed backwards for reassembly.

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.
