Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Handle
Operation: Disassembly of the handle on Focus

We see the disassembly of the damaged handle on Ford Focus. We disassemble the cover panel to access the internal screws that secure the handle. We remove the cover of the handle, we unscrew the screws present inside it. Unscrew the other screws on the cover panel until the whole panel is unlocked. Remove the panel with your hands and unhook it from the door (disconnect the power cables and the opening cable). We unscrew the screws on the side of the door and the screws inside it until the handle is released. We disassemble the damaged handle and replace it with a new one. We test the functioning of the new handle at the end of assembly.

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.
