Vauxhall Corsa - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa C - Years 2000-2006
Part: Brake discs
Operation: How to clean the brake discs

In this video tutorial we see the procedure for cleaning the brake disc of an Opel Corsa. The machine is made safe: the handbrake is applied and it is raised on a jack. The wheel trim must be removed. After loosening the bolts the jack is raised further after which the bolts are extracted and consequently the wheel is removed. The label of the product used for cleaning the disc is shown extensively in the video (it is a specific cleaner for car components). The spray is sprayed abundantly over the entire surface of the disc and also into the back of it. Once it has dried, the wheel can be reassembled by retracing the disassembly operations backwards.

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.
