Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Brake pads
Operation: Replacement brake pads and discs

Disassemble the wheel and carefully disassemble the caliper by removing the two stops with a ratchet wrench. Move aside the brake fluid pipe that feeds the piston. Remove the worn pads that you will replace with two new ones of the same type and before installation clean any dirt with a brush. Reassemble the bracket by cleaning and greasing the fixing screws, then always tighten them with a wrench. Refit the caliper. The pad with the electrical contacts must be mounted inwards, paying attention to the direction of travel. Realign the piston by pushing it inwards and check the adherence of the pads to the disc.

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.
