Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W202 - Years 1993-2000
Part: Brake pads
Operation: Brake pads replacement

Raise the car on a lift (or with a jack) and remove the wheel where the repair is to be carried out. With the aid of a pin punch of suitable diameter and hammer, extract the central locking pin of the pads (if necessary spray the release spray), remove the sealing spring and extract the pads. Pry between the disc and the brake caliper so as to retract the caliper piston and create the necessary space to house the new pads. Carefully clean the brake caliper, insert the new pads, position the retaining spring and re-insert the locking pin by passing it over the spring.

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.
