Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Lock
Operation: Disassembly of handle and lock on Fiat 500

In today's video tutorial we will see how to remove the door handle and the lock cylinder on a Fiat 500, following these simple steps. First we open the door and remove the door panel, removing the plastic covers and unscrewing the fixing screws underneath; once the panel has been removed, we can unscrew the side screw of the lock and disconnect the pin from the same, as shown in the video. At this point we remove the handle from the outside and also detach the cylinder; we just have to replace and reassemble everything!

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.
