Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Handle
Operation: How to replace the exterior door handle of the Ford Focus?

In order to remove the Ford Focus exterior door handle, the interior panel must first be removed. To do this, you need to unhook the triangular plastic part, which is located in correspondence with the external rearview mirror. When this has been removed, it will be possible to loosen all the bolts that fix the panel, placed in the positions shown in the video. Once the panel has been removed, it will be necessary to loosen the screw that secures the external handle, located in the hole located at the top left of the door. Finally, you will need to use a screwdriver to leverage and detach the two parts that make up the external handle.

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.
