How to mount new speakers on the rear panel of a Fiat 500

Model: Fiat 500 500 L - Years 2012-2023

How to assemble the rear speakers on a Fiat 500. Let's start by removing the rear seat - the procedure is the same whether it is a single seat or a split seat - now we need to remove the seat: two more 16 mm bolts hold the seat fixed to the bodywork. Now we need to remove the belt bolt with a 13mm wrench. Now we remove the passenger C-pillar panel. To remove the side panel, we need to remove the central pillar, the one where the passenger seat belt is located. You need a 17mm spanner to remove it. At this point the panel, which is interlocking, comes off easily. Again, we have to remove the sill, by removing the screws that hold it in place. Now finally our rear panel is free, and you can remove it because it is push-fit. But be careful because if it is true that decision is needed, it is also true that it is easy to break the plastic clips. The original case is not secured with screws, but with rivets, which are removed by drilling them with 4 or 5 mm iron bits. We recommend the utmost delicacy when drilling the rivet! The speaker is now free. We remove the clamp and here it takes a minimum of manual skill to create a small wooden adapter ring to return the ovens between the new body and the bodywork. At this point you can connect the wires and clamp and reassemble all the components upside down, as well as redo all the work for the left side.

How to Remove the Gear Knob on an Opel Astra

How to replace the gear knob on an Opel Astra? Follow these steps: use a plastic lever to disconnect the leather gaiter frame (if you need to replace it). Grip the knob with both hands and pull it upwards (with a strong and decisive motion) until it comes off the gear stick. For installation: fit the new gaiter and position it on the centre tunnel, take the new knob and push it onto the stick, tightening it until fully threaded. Test the movement of the stick on the centre tunnel to ensure the knob is correctly fitted.
