Mercedes Classe M - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe M W163 - Years 1997-2005
Part: Clutch
Operation: Removing the radiator fan clutch

The radiator cooling fan is equipped with a clutch connected to the fan itself and it is possible to purchase it separately also in the after market; disassembly of the fan complete with clutch is very simple to carry out and requires a wrench long enough to reach the relative fixing nut; then remove the plastic cover on the engine, remove the oil level control stick and insert the key on the fan fixing nut; then give a sharp blow on the wrench to overcome the friction of the nut detachment and rotate the fan to complete the disassembly.

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.
