Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C - Years 1983-1993
Part: Brake discs
Operation: Replacement of car brake discs

Brake discs remain an essential part of the safety of the car and, of course, of the people on board. When this component of the car is worn it must be replaced immediately. The guide below shows you how to do this through simple and few steps. Usually, together with the change of the discs it is better to change the pads as well. Most car manufacturers recommend changing them about every 80,000 km or after replacing the pads twice, which usually change every 40,000 km. Changing the brake discs is not a very difficult operation. The discs must have a minimum thickness that it is good practice to check not to exceed, by measuring the external side part with a vernier caliper.

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.
