Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C - Years 1983-1993
Part: Suspensions
Operation: Removing the rear suspension spring

Raise the car and remove the wheel where the repair is to be made. Using suitable clamps, squeeze the suspension spring until the relative upper support can be extracted. Then remove the fixing pins of the suspension oscillating arm to the bridge cross member and hub (if necessary use a pin punch to extract them) and those fixing the damper to the arm itself: at this point it is possible to extract the oscillating arm from its seat complete with spring (tightly packed by the terminal). Therefore loosen the clamp to be able to remove the spring from the swinging arm.

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.
