Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W204 - Years 2007-2013
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: Removing the gear lever knob of the Mercedes C-Class

In this video tutorial we will see how to disassemble and replace the gear lever knob of the Mercedes C-Class, following the instructions below. First we get on board the car and start by disassembling and removing the gearshift gaiter, unhooking it from below; after which we forcefully pull the gear knob upwards, removing it together with the headset, as shown in the video. At this point we remove the knob from the cap, replacing it with the new one; we install everything on the gear lever, fixing them correctly and without creating any kind of rotary movement on the lever.

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.
