Replacing the Rear Brake Pads on Ford Focus

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Brake pads

Let's look at replacing the rear brake pads on a Ford Focus. Lift the car on a column lift to the desired height, then remove the wheel. Unscrew the retaining bolt of the brake caliper and remove it from the brake support. Use a screwdriver to detach the pads from the brake caliper. Install the new pads onto the brake caliper. Refit the brake caliper with the support onto the brake disc, tighten all bolts, and reattach the previously removed wheel. Prepare to perform the same operations on the other calipers present on the vehicle.
