Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Drive shaft boot
Operation: Fiat 500 CV joint boot replacement

In this video we will see how to remove the rubber boot of the CV joint of a Fiat 500. First we lift the car and remove the front wheel, unscrewing the bolts; after that we go to unscrew the bolt connecting the suspension to the braking system and with a pliers we remove the sealing ring of the boot. At this point we remove the drive shaft from the hub and we go to remove the boot of the homokinetic joint; now let's replace it with the new one, first going to clean up the area and then gain weight: we just have to reassemble everything, following the video to the end!

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.
