Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Steering wheel
Operation: How to remove the steering wheel of a Fiat 500

Before starting, we will have to sit on the driver's seat of our Fiat 500. Let's start by unscrewing and removing the screws that secure the airbag to the steering wheel, then extract it and disconnect the relative electrical connector. After that, we will have to go and unscrew and remove the central nut that secures the steering wheel to the steering column. By doing so, we will have freed the steering wheel. At this point, we will have to disengage and remove the steering wheel from the steering column. When we have removed the steering wheel of our Fiat 500, we will have successfully completed the disassembly, and we will be free to fit the new steering wheel.

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.
