Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Gearshift gaiter
Operation: How to remove the gearshift gaiter on Ford Focus

Do we want to replace the gearbox protection gaiter? Let's see how the headset is removed from above the plastics of the central tunnel. We grab the knob with our hands and rotate it to the left (as if we were taking apart anything), then, remove it from the shift rod. We detach the plastic frame from above the central tunnel: we pull up the cap and remove it. We insert the new gearshift gaiter into the movable rod. We screw the new knob into the rod on the central tunnel: we tighten the new knob to the end of the lever thread. At the end of the assembly of the plastic cover of the headset we just have to check everything.

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.
