RAM Promaster - Video tutorial

Model: RAM Promaster MK 1 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Brake pads
Operation: How to replace the rear brake disc and pads of the RAM ProMaster 1500 Mk1.

The guide shows how to replace the brake pads and rear brake discs of the RAM 1500 ProMaster Mk1. After removing the tire and safely lifting the vehicle, it is necessary to remove the two 14mm bolts that hold the brake caliper in place and remove the piece. Remove the old brake pads and remove the two fixing bolts of the brake caliper support. Remove the two guide pins with a 12mm wrench from the face of the brake disc. Using a hammer, remove the worn-out element. After cleaning the area of debris, install the new brake disc and secure it with the two pins. On the brake caliper support, install the new brake pad guides and reassemble it in place. Install the new pads by greasing the contact ends and fully retract the caliper piston before reassembling it in place. Tighten the brake caliper onto the support and connect the brake wear sensor. Remount the tire and check the proper functioning of the braking system before hitting the road.

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.
