Operation: How to replace the rear brake pads of Fiat 500 312

The guide shows how to replace the rear brake pads of the Fiat 500 312. The first operation to perform is to unscrew the cap of the brake fluid reservoir from inside the engine compartment. Start loosening the rear wheel bolts with a 17mm wrench. Once the rim has been completely removed, clean the brake caliper with a brush and brake spray. Unscrew the brake caliper mounting bolts with a 13 mm wrench. Remove the brake caliper and lock it. Remove the worn pads, clean the housing and check the thickness of the brake disc. Apply brake lubricant to the pad guides and install them in place. Using a piston retractor, push the caliper piston all the way and reinstall it into position. Tighten the fixing bolts to 35 Nm. Clean the disc surface with a suitable spray. Lubricate the contact point with the rim with copper lubricant and refit the rim. Close the brake fluid reservoir and check the brakes for proper operation before taking the road.

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.
