Vauxhall Corsa - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa D - Years 2006-2014
Part: Brake pads
Operation: How do you replace the front brake pads in the Opel Corsa D?

First we lift the bonnet and unscrew the brake fluid reservoir cap, then we loosen the wheel bolts, lift the car on jack stands and finish removing the wheel. We clean the brake caliper fasteners with a cleaning spray and a wire brush, then push the pads apart and unscrew the brake caliper mount. We disassemble the caliper, remove the pads and, if necessary, carry out a further cleaning. Insert the new pads and reassemble the brake caliper in its place. Finally we put the wheel back.

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.
