Hi, first post here and have come for some advice.
My other half owns a '98 Seicento Sporting Abarth, basically the brakes or handbrake are never great and every year they have to free off the adjusters at MOT time.
It's due an MOT soon and I said I'd sort the rear brakes out for her. Haven't seen a manual for it, but brakes are usually pretty simple, just after a few pointers really.
So, firstly, how is it easiest to remove the hub nut? I don't have a compressor so will use a breaker bar, can you get through to it with the wheel on or is there no centre cap? (Abarth wheels)
Secondly, I've heard people having trouble with springs, are these the tensioners or something for the shoes? What is usually the problem?
I plan to get both shoes and h/b adjusters, anything else I should consider?
Basically after any advice so I don't get caught out!!
Cheers.
