Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Brake pads
Operation: How to replace brake pads on Fiat 500

Let's see how to replace the front brake pads of a Fiat 500. We lift the car on a column bridge and remove the wheel to access the brake disc. We unscrew the locking pin of the brake caliper, remove the same from the wheel support. Remove the pads to be replaced from the wheel hub caliper with a screwdriver. We fix the new pads on the brake caliper, mount the brake caliper with the holder on the brake system disc. We tighten all the pins and mount the wheel. We carry out a brake pedal pressure test: if it is too soft we just have to bleed the lubrication system.

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.
