I warmly welcome! Gentlemen, where in the Mercedes W245 B-class parking brake cables converge, two from the wheels and one from the brake lever from the cab? I have already adjusted the distance between the jaws and the drums in both wheels, but there is still a long idle stroke on the lever. On...

The adjustment should be with the lever itself, usually it is.

Unfortunately, there is no adjustment with the lever. Looking even at the rope itself (on the net), there is nothing to shoot there

The adjustment is where the right and left wheels meet. In the picture the front link.

Ociz, thanks a lot, I was looking for this. Or maybe you know where they meet? I am asking because the bottom of the car is full of covers, unscrewing them is not nice. I would like to get to where it is needed.

I haven't had Class B for a long time. In the class and Vaneo goes more or less as the rear wheels start, here probably the same. I like these covers there, because at least clean when you take them off.

Thank you very much for your help, best regards. I'll search

In one class (but I don't remember which one) the adjustment was under the lid in the floor and this lid under the rear seat.

It would be too beautiful to be in a B-class

For posterity, the W245 parking brake cable adjustment is on the rear beam, closer to the left wheel. Just remove the left wheel on the lift and there is very good access. Simple and pleasant adjustment Greetings.

I warmly welcome!
Gentlemen, where in the Mercedes W245 B-class parking brake cables converge, two from the wheels and one from the brake lever from the cab? I have already adjusted the distance between the jaws and the drums in both wheels, but there is still a long idle stroke on the lever. On the third clove almost nothing holds, I wanted to shorten it a little by adjusting. I will be grateful for help.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion centers on locating and adjusting the parking brake cables in the Mercedes Benz W245 B-Class. The user seeks guidance on where the cables from the wheels and the brake lever converge, noting that despite adjusting the distance between the jaws and drums, there remains excessive idle stroke on the lever. Responses indicate that the adjustment point is located on the rear beam, closer to the left wheel, and recommend removing the left wheel for better access. Some users mention that adjustments may also be found under covers or lids, but specific details vary. Overall, the consensus is that the adjustment is straightforward once the correct location is accessed.

FAQ

TL;DR: On Mercedes B‑Class W245, there’s 1 adjuster on the rear beam near the left wheel; “Just remove the left wheel” for clear access and set tension at the junction to cure long handbrake travel. [Elektroda, stachumuszel, post #17294435]

Why it matters: This helps W245 owners and techs quickly fix long, loose handbrake travel by going straight to the correct adjustment point.

Quick Facts

Adjuster location: rear axle beam, closer to the left wheel; remove 1 left rear wheel for direct access on a lift. [Elektroda, stachumuszel, post #17294435]
Cabin lever adjustment: not present on W245; do not look for an in‑cabin nut. [Elektroda, stachumuszel, post #17266859]
Cable architecture: 2 rear cables converge at an equalizer/front link; that junction is the adjust point. [Elektroda, ociz, post #17266870]
Platform note: Mercedes W203 uses an access lid under the rear seat for parking‑brake adjustment, unlike W245. [Elektroda, ociz, post #17266976]
Underbody covers: expect a cleaner work area once shields are off; wheel‑well access helps keep debris down. [Elektroda, ociz, post #17266909]

Where do the parking brake cables converge on a Mercedes B‑Class W245?

At the rear axle beam near the left wheel. The equalizer/adjuster sits there. Remove the left rear wheel for straightforward access. This is the confirmed adjustment point. [Elektroda, stachumuszel, post #17294435]

Is there an adjustment at the handbrake lever on W245?

No. W245 lacks a lever-side adjustment. Do not pull apart the console; it won’t help cable tension. [Elektroda, stachumuszel, post #17266859]

How do I adjust the W245 parking brake cables?

Do the cable adjustment at the rear-beam junction from the left wheel well.

Safely lift the car and remove the left rear wheel.
Locate the cable junction adjuster on the rear axle beam.
Make small adjustments, then check lever travel and rear wheel hold. [Elektroda, stachumuszel, post #17294435]

Do I need to remove underbody covers to reach the adjuster?

Access through the left wheel well is sufficient. Removing that wheel on a lift gives very good access to the adjuster. You can work without dropping large underbody shields. [Elektroda, stachumuszel, post #17294435]

Where exactly do the right and left cables join?

They meet at the equalizer, also called the front link. “The adjustment is where the right and left wheels meet.” That junction carries the adjuster hardware. [Elektroda, ociz, post #17266870]

Is there an interior access panel for this on any Mercedes?

Yes, but not on W245. On W203, the adjustment is under a floor lid beneath the rear seat. [Elektroda, ociz, post #17266976]

What basic tools do I need for the job?

Use a lift or jack stands, a wheel wrench, and standard spanners for the adjuster. Removing the left rear wheel is the key access step. [Elektroda, stachumuszel, post #17294435]

Someone said the adjuster isn’t on the rear beam—is that true?

No. The confirmed location is the rear beam near the left wheel, accessible after removing the left wheel. Follow that guidance when adjusting. [Elektroda, stachumuszel, post #17294435]

How can I identify the correct adjuster assembly?

Find the equalizer where 2 rear cables converge into 1 front link. That 2‑into‑1 junction is the adjust point. [Elektroda, ociz, post #17266870]

Can I do this without tearing apart the cabin?

Yes. W245 has no lever-side adjuster, so interior disassembly is unnecessary. Work from the left rear wheel well instead. [Elektroda, stachumuszel, post #17266859]

Is the job quick to perform once located?

Yes. With the car on a lift and the left wheel off, access is straightforward—“Simple and pleasant adjustment.” [Elektroda, stachumuszel, post #17294435]

Will underbody covers make the area messy or clean to work on?

Underbody covers help keep the underside clean. Expect a cleaner space around the adjuster once shields are off. [Elektroda, ociz, post #17266909]
