Smart Forfour - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Forfour MK 1, W454 - Years 2004-2006
Operation: How to replace the door handle cable of the Smart Forfour.

Let's briefly go over the instructions for disassembling and replacing the cable of the front door handle of the Smart Forfour. First, we open the front door and begin by removing the inner and outer panels of the door. To do this, we remove the side plastic cover and unscrew the fastening screws, as shown in the video. At this point, we disconnect the cable from the handle by sliding it out with the sheath to remove it and replace it with the new one. Then, we reassemble the new cable with its corresponding sheath, attaching it to the handle hook and reassembling the door panels!

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.
