Bosch 1987477219 Brake Cable

The Bosch 1987477219 Brake Cable is a high‑performance component designed to deliver reliable stopping power and precise control for a wide range of vehicles. Whether you are upgrading an existing system or installing a new one, this cable offers exceptional durability, low friction, and excellent resistance to environmental factors.

Key Features

• High‑Strength Steel Core: Constructed from premium alloy steel that resists stretching and maintains consistent tension over thousands of cycles.
• Low‑Friction PTFE Lining: The inner sleeve is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene, reducing wear between the cable and housing while providing smooth operation.
• Corrosion Resistance: The outer sheath is treated to withstand moisture, salt, and temperature extremes, ensuring long‑term reliability in harsh climates.
• Precision Tolerances: Manufactured to exacting standards, the cable fits seamlessly into Bosch’s brake systems without requiring extensive adjustments.
• Versatile Compatibility: Suitable for both handbrake and parking brake applications across a variety of vehicle models, including many Mercedes‑Benz Class C and CLK variants.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Disconnect the vehicle’s battery to ensure safety. Remove any existing cable or debris from the brake housing.
2. Measure Length: Determine the required cable length by measuring from the handbrake lever to the parking brake mechanism, adding a few centimeters for slack and adjustment.
3. Insert Cable: Feed the new Bosch 1987477219 cable through the housing, ensuring it sits flush against the inner walls without twisting.
4. Tension Adjustment: Use a torque wrench to set the correct lever tension according to manufacturer specifications. Over‑tightening can cause premature wear; under‑tensioning may lead to insufficient braking force.
5. Secure Connections: Fasten all clamps and brackets, double‑check for any loose fittings, and ensure the cable is free from kinks.
6. Test Functionality: Reconnect the battery, engage the handbrake, and observe the brake response. Verify that the parking brake holds firmly when released.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the cable annually for signs of wear, fraying, or corrosion.
• Lubricate the PTFE lining with a silicone‑based spray to maintain low friction.
• Avoid exposing the cable to extreme heat sources that could deform the polymer sheath.
• If you notice any loss in braking performance, replace the cable promptly to avoid safety risks.
