Operation: How to replace the rear master cylinder or master cylinder on the Smart Fortwo 450

Let's find out in this guide the main steps that will allow us to remove and replace the rear brake pump or master cylinder on the Smart Fortwo 450, first series. First we lift the car and remove the rear wheel; then let's remove the drum, unscrewing the fixing screws, as shown in the video. At this point we remove the springs and the jaws, subsequently disassembling the master cylinder, as well as the pump; to do this we disconnect the rear tube and unscrew the screws of the bracket. We just have to reassemble everything, applying the reverse procedure!

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.
