Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How to replace the gear knob on Ford Focus

Replacing the damaged gear knob on a Ford Focus, let's see how to disassemble it. We disconnect the leather cap from the knob, take the knob in our hands and rotate it to the left until it is removed from the shift rod (unscrew the knob). To carry out the assembly, take the new knob and insert it into the rod on the central tunnel, screw it until it locks. We mount the leather cap under the new knob. Finally, we test the correct assembly of the knob with the movement of the rod on the central tunnel. We replace the rod cover cap if damaged.

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.
