Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Drive shaft boot
Operation: Replacing the drive shaft joint boot on the Fiat 500

In this video tutorial we will see how to remove and replace the drive shaft boot on the Fiat 500, following the instructions below. First of all we lift the car on the front side and remove the wheel; then let's disassemble the hub, unscrewing the nut with a 36 mm socket wrench, as shown in the video. At this point we are going to disconnect our axle shaft, unscrewing and removing the central pin; then we remove the cap of the joint, cleaning the affected area before replacing it with the new one; we just have to reassemble everything, applying the reverse procedure!

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.
