How to remove the tailgate pistons on Ford Focus. Let's see in this video how to replace the pistons on a tailgate: lift the tailgate and put it in safety, with a screwdriver we remove the clamping hooks (metal) placed at the two ends of the piston. Remove the worn piston and mount the new piece in the two seats. We put the piston in safety with the metal clips. We proceed in the same way for the disassembly / assembly of the twin piston. Finally, we test the operation of the piston (we open and close the tailgate).

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.
