Renault Clio - Video tutorial

Model: Renault Clio Clio 2, MK 2 - Years 1998-2005
Part: Drums and shoes
Operation: How to replace a leaking brake cylinder

This video shows how to replace the cylinder positioned above the brake drum of a Renault Clio. After having disassembled the wheel in question, remove the leaking cylinder with a ratchet wrench. As the fluid will have already completely soaked the entire braking system, wash all the parts involved with a jet of water. Also use a degreaser like the one shown. Now take a new cylinder and mount it exactly like the previous one. At this point, reassemble the drum and the hub; as a last step, top up the brake system fluid.

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.
