Part: Brake pads
Operation: How to change the front brake pads of the Fiat Grande Punto

Today we will discover the steps that will allow us to disassemble and replace the front brake pads of the Fiat Grande Punto, as well as the Punto Evo. First, we lift the vehicle and remove the front wheel. Then, we unscrew the fastening screws of the front brake caliper, subsequently removing the metal clip to remove the pads from the caliper, as shown in the video. At this point, we clean the caliper from any remaining dirt and apply pressure to the piston to retract it. We then install the new pads and reassemble the braking system!

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.
