Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Steering wheel
Operation: How do you replace the steering wheel of the Fiat 500?

In order to replace the Fiat 500 steering wheel, you must first open the hood to access the engine compartment and disconnect the battery. Next, you will have to loosen the screws that secure the plastic covers that wrap the steering column and also those that are located at the rear of the steering wheel. When these have been removed, it will be possible to detach the front airbag, after having disconnected the connectors on the inside. At this point, it will be possible to loosen the nut that fixes the central pin of the steering wheel and remove the latter: when the old steering wheel has been removed, it will be possible to install a new one and mount all the parts previously removed.

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.
