This video illustrates the removal of the cooling intercooler on a Ford Focus. Open the bonnet, and using a suitable socket wrench, unscrew the screws that secure the bumper at the top, then lift the car on a column lift and unscrew the screws underneath.

Disconnect the various hoses of the intercooler's cooling system. Once free from screws and pipes, you can extract the intercooler.
