Today I switched the standard emergency brake with the folding one. Why this isn’t standard on any Sprinter that is going to have swivel seats, I don’t know.

It took 15 minutes or less. I needed a 16mm socket and wrench, a small block of wood and a rubber mallet. The wood and mallet were to get the front cover of the emergency brake off. The rear cover comes off easily. After that it is unplug 2 wires, remove the 2 bolts that hold the brake in place and pop loose the pin that holds the emergency brake cable.

Now to set the brake I pull up on it like normal and then just push the handle down. The handle is out of the way for swiveling the driver’s seat. To release the brake I just pull it up until I hear it engage and push the black release button.
