Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2022
Part: Handle
Operation: How to replace the external handle in the Fiat 500?

In this tutorial we can see how to replace the external door handle on a Fiat 500, a very simple operation which requires the disassembly of the internal panel. First of all, open the door in question, then disengage the cover of the internal handle and unscrew the 3 bolts just released. We continue by unscrewing the screws located inside the small glove compartment, lever along the perimeter of the panel and separate it from the door. At this point, cut part of the protective sheet, locate the handle fixing bolts and unscrew them. To fit the spare part and put everything back together, simply follow 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.
