Geely Mk - Video tutorial

Model: Geely Mk MK 1 - Years 2006-2023
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How to adjust brakes on Geely Mk

We adjust the brakes of our Geely Mk. First we remove the rear wheels, lifting the car off the ground. Our Geely has drum brakes, so the adjustment is purely mechanical. We remove the safety, release the nut. Now let's start taking out the drum. In some cars the screw has to be removed first. With a hammer, strike the drum if necessary. The adjustment is made by this spring: While we hold it, with another screwdriver we will apply pressure and adjust the pressure through the eye that is framed in the video. With the left screwdriver we will open or close the pressure slowly. When it's well adjusted we need to set and adjust the handbrake. When you're done adjusting and you've got the drum in place, place the nut and leave room to store the safety. Don't forget to double the safety. Replace the lid and tap gently to secure. We can put the tire back on. Not all cars have the same adjustment system.

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.
