Fiat Punto - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat Punto 188, MK 2 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Hand brake
Operation: Handbrake adjustment

If the handbrake is too slow or too hard, it may be time to adjust it. The operation is very simple and can also be done alone. First of all, with the help of a Phillips screwdriver you remove the handbrake boot (the "cap" behind it) and you can see that there is a kind of nut (the "column"). By screwing it in, the slingbar moves away from the handbrake and the lever becomes more and more precise. Then everything is reassembled. The car model shown in this video is a Fiat Punto, but the operation is very similar in other Fiat car models.
