Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Brake pads
Operation: How do you replace the brake pads on the Fiat 500?

In order to replace the brake pads of the Fiat 500, you need to position the jack so that the corresponding wheel does not touch the ground: subsequently, you will need to loosen the bolts that secure the wheel, so that it can be removed. This will give access to the brake caliper, which can be removed from the disc by pulling out the special fixing pins; once the caliper has been removed, it will be possible to extract the old pads that are inside it, so that new ones can be inserted. After installation, all removed components will need to be mounted.

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.
