Mercedes Vito - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Vito MK 2, W639 - Years 2003-2013
Part: Arm
Operation: How to replace the arm on Mercedes Vito

Let's see how the arm on Mercedes Vito. We put the car on a column bridge and loosen the wheel pins, then, we lift the car to a preferred height and take off the rim. With a socket wrench we unscrew the locking pin of the arm and the pin mounted under the wheel hub, we unscrew the pins of the upper part of the arm and the plate tightened on the sheet of the car. Remove the arm from the pin seat with the help of a crowbar, unscrew the last bolt and hit the arm with a hammer to pull it away. We insert the new arm under the car and begin to tighten all the bolts on the threads shown in the video. Let's double check that we have tightened everything well.

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.
