Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Lock
Operation: How to remove the tailgate lock on a Ford Focus

How do you remove the tailgate lock on a Ford Focus? Let's see how to disassemble it. We open and lift the tailgate of our car; with a screwdriver we unscrew the fastening screws placed in the plastic panel (where the handles are). We remove the plastic placed on the tailgate of the luggage compartment (help us with a plastic or metal lever) and disconnect any power supply terminals. We remove the defective lock and reassemble a new one. We proceed in the same way for the reassembly of the plastics and related parts by proceeding in reverse the disassembly operations.

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.
