Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Brake pads
Operation: Ford focus disassembly of the brake pads

Let's see the disassembly of the front pads of a Ford Focus. We disassemble the wheel to get to the front brake caliper. We lift the car on a column bridge (jack) to the desired height, remove the wheel with the respective pins. We unscrew the locking pin of the brake caliper, remove the same from the wheel support. We disassemble the pads to be replaced from the wheel hub caliper with a screwdriver, remove the brake caliper. We mount the new disc, the new pads on the caliper. We tighten all the pins and mount the wheel. We turn on the vehicle and test the brake pedal pressure.

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.
