Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 Epoca - Years 1957-1975
Part: Timing belt
Operation: How to replace the timing chain on a Fiat 500

Before we can start, we will have to open the rear engine hood of our Fiat 500. Let's start by removing the rear cross member, unscrewing the relative fixing bolts. After that, we will have to go and remove the main pulley cover, then unscrew and remove it. By doing so, we will also be able to remove the belt connected to the dynamo. At this point, we will have to go to unscrew and remove the bolts that secure the timing chain cover, and then we will have to remove the cover itself. Once this is done, we will also have to remove the engine mount. At this point we will be able to remove the crown and the timing chain, and we will have finished the disassembly. To assemble the new chain and close everything again we will simply have to repeat these steps in reverse, and we will have 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.
