Part: Brake pads
Operation: Replacement of front brake pads

To replace the front brake pads, lift the car on suitable car stands and remove the front wheel; at this point do not disassemble the whole brake caliper but only the lower pin in order to lift the caliper upwards and access the seat of the pads in the support; then remove the old pads and insert the new ones (it is advisable to apply copper grease on the back of the pads and in the sliding guides); then retract the cylinder of the pliers by pressing with an arc clamp or simply with a parrot pliers; reposition the caliper and tighten the relative fixing pin.

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.
