Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Handle
Operation: Fiat 500 external handle replacement

Open the door in order to access the torx t25 located on the side and next to the handle: unscrew it. Disassemble the door panel by first removing the various plastic screw covers: one is positioned in the drawer, two on the side of the panel and one near the internal handle. Unscrew all the screws that were hidden by these plastics. Use a plastic lever to pry all the way around the panel and pull it out of the door, then disconnect the connectors. Remove the cloth behind the panel and unscrew the handle, making it come out from the outside with all the gear.

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.
