How to Remove and Adjust the Handbrake on a Ford Focus

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Parking brake

Do you want to remove the cover of the handbrake lever on a Ford Focus to adjust the tension? This guide shows you how to proceed: using a plastic spatula, remove the leather cover of the handbrake lever (unscrew the screws above the plastic part, then slide off the leather cover). Make the necessary adjustments to the handbrake and then reassemble everything. Fit the covering around the handbrake, reinstall the storage compartment, and attach the leather-covered trim to the clips of the handbrake on the centre console. Test the correct functioning of the handbrake.
