On some occasions, it is possible to adjust the handbrake of the Ford Fiesta from the rear brake shoes, after making the main adjustment from the central tunnel nut. This is necessary for fine tuning, or if there is irregular locking or excessive travel of the handbrake.

We must lift the car and remove the wheels.

Inside the drum or disc, there is a mechanism for adjusting the brake shoes, and using a screwdriver, we will adjust the shoes so that they come closer to the surface of the disc, but without touching it: it is essential that the adjustment is the same for both wheels, so this adjustment requires some mechanical knowledge.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
