Ford Fiesta - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Fiesta MK 6, Fiesta 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Steering wheel
Operation: How do you replace the steering wheel on a Ford Fiesta?

In order to replace the steering wheel on the Ford Fiesta, it will be necessary to loosen the bolts located in the lower rear part of the already installed steering wheel: in this way the airbag can be removed from the center of the steering wheel, disconnecting the rear connector. When the airbag has been removed, it will be possible to identify the central nut which secures the steering wheel to its housing. By unscrewing this nut it will therefore be possible to completely remove the steering wheel from its seat, so as to be able to position the new spare part; this must be fixed by then installing the corresponding airbag.

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.
