Mazda Biante - Video tutorial

Model: Mazda Biante MK 1 - Years 2008-2018
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How to change the brake pads on a Mazda Biante

Let's see how to replace the rear brakes of the Mazda Biante. First we remove the two rear wheels, and keep the car up by keeping it raised safely with a jack. Let's not trust our jack too much, and in any case put the two wheels that we have removed under the car. We open the hood and open the brake fluid container. Then, using a screwdriver, remove the caliper, unscrewing the front and rear bolts: remove the pads and change them with new ones. We put the caliper back in its place, checking the functionality of the piston. We tighten everything well, also putting the latch back in its place. We can put the wheels back on. Job done.

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.
