Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W203 - Years 2000-2007
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: Disassembly of the gear knob of the Mercedes C-Class.

Today we will discover the process that will allow us to disassemble and replace the gear knob of the Mercedes C-Class. First, we get into the car and start by detaching the gear lever boot from the base of the lever; then, we unscrew the gear knob and pull it upwards to detach it along with the boot, as shown in the video. At this point, we replace and install the new original gear knob, also replacing the boot if necessary; we install and secure everything onto the gear lever, making sure there is no play between the knob and 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.
