Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 Epoca - Years 1957-1975
Part: Wheel
Operation: How to change the wheel of the Fiat 500

To change the wheel of a vintage Fiat 500, go to the front of the car, open the front bonnet, take the tools in the special case, unscrew the wheel cover and remove it; we take the L key, loosen the bolts, position the jack perpendicular to the door closing line in the hole where the jack piece is to be inserted and raise the car. Once the wheel has been lifted off the ground, remove the previously loosened bolts and remove the wheel. Now we can take the spare wheel, matching the small awl in the small hole in the wheel, screw the bolts by hand without tightening them, lower the car until the jack moves, finish tightening the bolts well with the spanner L and screw the wheel cover stud with the wrench. Now that the wheel has changed we can put the tools back in their place.

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.
