Operation: How to replace the handbrake cable of the Volkswagen Polo

In this video tutorial we will see how to disassemble and replace the handbrake cable of the Volkswagen Polo, following the instructions below. First of all we lift the car and go to remove the right rear wheel; then we remove the entire brake system, from the caliper to the disc (or the drum and shoes). At this point we disconnect the handbrake cable, together with the sheath, and replace it with the new one, passing it from the guide; we disconnect the cable from the handbrake lever, unscrewing the screws of the central tunnel, connecting the new one!

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.
