Mercedes Classe A - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe A W168 - Years 1997-2004
Part: Central tunnel
Operation: How to remove and replace the central tunnel on a Mercedes A-Class

Let's see how to disassemble and replace the central tunnel placed on a Mercedes Class A. With a plastic lever we remove by leveraging the coating placed in the lower part of the central tunnel, we remove the gear knob (as in the video). After removing the plastic covering, unscrew the locking pins in the rear part of the central tunnel with a socket wrench. Once this operation has been carried out, we go to pull away the tunnel and disconnect any power cables. Finally we insert the new piece in the central tunnel compartment, we reassemble all the components of the glove compartment as we have previously disassembled.

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.
