Fiat Punto - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat Punto 176, MK 1 - Years 1993-1999
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How to remove the steering box of the Fiat Punto 176?

To remove the steering box of the Fiat Punto 176, but also of other Fiat, Lancia and Alfa Romeo models, you must first remove the front wheels. Once this is done, you have to go to the passenger compartment to unscrew the cardan joint: this is where the pedals are and must be loosened with a 13 wrench. Then you have to remove the two heads that connect the wheels to the steering wheel and unscrew the relative nuts. At this point it is necessary to unscrew all the bolts indicated in the video tutorial which are located in the lower part of the car; once removed it will be possible to slide off the steering box.

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.
