Model: Fiat Idea MK 1 - Years 2003-2016
Part: Shocks

Unscrew the three screws of the casing near the windscreen, remove the wiper studs and unscrew the 10 nuts below. Undo the other three screws of the wiper motor and remove it. As shown in the video, unscrew the upper fixing bolt of the shock absorber with a 6 mm Allen key, holding the base firmly with a 19 mm hex wrench. Go to the underside of the car and remove the brake oil hose and ABS cable from the shock. With wrenches of 15 and 17, unscrew the two bolts on the hub and then the head. Remove the shock absorber from the car and disassemble it completely, positioning yourself on a workbench, with the "spring remover", tools that can be easily purchased on the net that will help you a lot in maintenance.

How to Remove the Front Brake Pads on a Chrysler PT Cruiser

To remove the front brake pads on a Chrysler PT Cruiser, position the car on a column lift and raise it to a comfortable height. Unscrew the pins using a socket wrench or air drill and remove the wheel. Then, use a screwdriver to detach the brake pads. Next, remove the caliper bracket and unscrew the pins on the brake disc (using a Torx screwdriver). Pull the disc towards you to slide it off the hub. Install the new brake disc with all associated pins, secure the caliper bracket to the disc and the pads, then mount the brake caliper, ensuring all pins are tightened properly. Before mounting the wheel, bleed the brake caliper and tighten the pin.
