Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 Epoca - Years 1957-1975
Part: Shock absorbers
Operation: How to replace the front shock absorber on a Fiat 500

Before we can start, we will have to lift the front of our Fiat 500. Let's start by disassembling and removing the front wheel, unscrewing the relative fixing bolts. Then, using a jack, we will have to loosen the tension on the shock absorber by lifting the base. Once this is done, we will have to unscrew and remove the bolts that secure the shock absorber to the hub support and to the frame, and then remove the shock absorber itself, and we will have completed the disassembly. To mount the new shock, we will just have to follow 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.
