Vauxhall Corsa - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa D - Years 2006-2014
Part: Brake pads
Operation: How to replace front brake pads on Opel Corsa

The first thing to do to replace the front brake pads on the Opel Corsa is to unscrew the brake fluid reservoir cap. Now we can jack up the car and remove the front wheels. The second thing to do is to clean and unscrew the brake caliper attachment with a socket wrench n. 13. With a little foot we separate the brake pads and remove the brake caliper and the pads. Now let's clean the brake caliper support and press it. We put some lubricant and insert the new pads. We assemble the brake caliper and fix it. Insert the right wheel and perform the same operation on the left pad.

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.
