“Unnecessarily Difficult” – Fiat 500 Gets New Wheel Cylinders & Shoes #fiat500 #automobile #garage
My wifes Fiat 500 was due an MOT test – as always Dad was on hand to give it a once over to make sure everything was ok. Sadly he diagnosed both rear wheel cylinders and shoes had failed. A job we thought would be 30 minutes turned into a nightmare when we found out you had to remove more parts than necessary to do the job.
In this video Dad and I fit new wheel cylinders and new brake shoes

Thanks for watching folks. Looks like I was wrong with my 30 minute estimate 😂
Good old dad sorts your stuff out again topman
All good! Well done! Glad to see you didn’t “Hub Nut It” and put it back together again still rusty without a good clean and a touch of paint. A good professional job! 😊 (I know I give Iain a hard time sometimes, but it’s all tongue in cheek).
Great job! Are you going to put some anti rust on the axle and stuff?
I bet that design flaw is Ford's doing! I hate doing drum brakes!
Is that a factory colour or has it been painted?
Guess what fiat stands for 😂
Car looks good for the age of it (apart from the colour!).
Nice bit of work dad, great video Jon 😊
Well done once, again, guys , Pink to make the guys wink ,ah 😉 😄👍
Almost 40 years since I first did brake shoes & cylinders, and it's only in the last couple of weeks whilst taking apart the rear brakes on my Smart Fortwo that I realised that shoe linings actually become unattached.
If you had painted the rear drums a matching pink colour, Mrs. JC would have loved you even more ! And the state of that rear axle – Wow.🙈
Good job Pete – Could you swap roles with Jon for the next easy job though ?👍
It’s a stupid bloody car 😂
nowt too tricky for the legend Jon
Did you not say 30mins to do the job?
Hi again Jon – Juratek are Apec's cheaper option. When Alliance Automotive came to the UK, they bought Apec (as well as others), which meant they also got the Juratek brand too. Alliance Automotive then got bought by the American firm who own Napa – hence their proliferation across the UK – in part also due to Alliance Automotive buying-up lots & lots of independant motor factors all over the country. Ask Dad if he's ever heard of FPS – Ferraris Piston Services. They were also swallowed-up by Alliance Automotive and no longer exist.
