Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 - Years 2007-2022
Part: Brake pads
Operation: How do you replace the rear brake pads of the Fiat 500?

In order to replace the rear brake pads of the Fiat 500, you need to lift the car with a jack or a lift, so that the corresponding wheel is not in contact with the ground: at this point, you can loosen the bolts that fix it to the hub and then remove it. This will allow you to locate the corresponding brake caliper, which can be detached from the disc by removing its specific pin: the pads inside it can thus be replaced with new spare parts and all the removed components can be reassembled.

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.
