Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How to remove the gear knob of the Fiat 500 Abarth

In this video tutorial we will see how to remove and replace the gear knob and the headset of the Fiat 500 Abarth, following the instructions below. First we get on board the car and start by removing the small plastic cap that we find on the top of the knob; we use a socket wrench with extension to unscrew and remove the knob screw, as shown in the video. At this point we release the cap from the sides and pull the knob upwards to remove it; let's replace it with the new one and 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.
