Operation: Handbrake removal on Mercedes C-Class

Is the parking brake lever broken on our Mercedes C-Class and we don't know what to do? Let's see the disassembly and replacement. Using a screwdriver, unscrew the clamping screws of the electric brake button lever, remove the grip handle immediately afterwards as shown in the video (disconnect the draft cable. Finally, mount the new parking brake lever next to the steering wheel as previously removed.

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.
