Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Bodywork
Operation: How to remove a front fender

This tutorial explains how to remove the front fender of a Ford Focus. First you will need to jack up the car and remove the wheel from the fender you want to remove. Unscrew the three torx screws located in the central part of the mudguard. Also remove the small bolt located at the bottom of the fender. Pull out the inner rubber cover. Remove the three 10mm screws from the front of the fender that are attached to the bumper and you will also need to unscrew the bolt that holds the fender to the frame near the headlight. By lowering the bumper a few centimeters, it will be possible to access the bolt that connects the fender to the headlight. At this point you will have to unscrew the four bolts located in the upper part of the fender. Then, with a slotted tip screwdriver, remove the fabric cover: you will find a yellow bolt and it will also need to be removed. Now go to the bottom of the fender again and remove the foam shield behind which is the last bolt to remove. Now pull the fender towards you and it should slide out smoothly.

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.
