Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Brake discs
Operation: Replace the front disc and pads on Ford Focus

Replacing the disc brake and front pads on Ford Focus, let's see the disassembly. We lift the car with a jack to the desired height, immediately after we go to remove the rim (with a telescopic wrench or compressed air drill) with the respective pins. We unscrew the locking pin of the brake caliper and remove it from the disc. Remove the pads to be replaced from the wheel hub caliper with a screwdriver, remove the brake caliper and then the disc (unscrew the screws). We mount the new disc, the new pads above the caliper, mount the brake caliper with the holder. We tighten all the pins of the wheel.

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.
