Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W203 - Years 2000-2007
Part: Brake pads
Operation: Replacement of rear brake pads

Raise the car with the jack in correspondence with the wheel on which to intervene by correctly positioning the plastic plug of the jack in the appropriate rib and loosen the fixing pins of the wheel before lifting the car completely (it is advisable to also position a car stand and chocks under the front wheels). Once the wheel has been removed, extract the central pin with the aid of a pin punch of suitable diameter and hammer: during extraction the sealing spring (in the shape of a crossbow) of the pads will be released. At this point, use your hands to leverage the pads in order to fully retract the pistons and create housing for the new pads. If necessary, clean the disc and caliper with a special cleaning spray. Then insert the new pads, position the sealing spring in its seat and insert the pin by passing it over the spring itself and insert it as far as it will go. Finally reassemble the wheel by properly tightening the pins. Mercedes C 230 kompressor Sport Coupè

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.
