Operation: How to replace the exterior door handle of the Ford Focus?

In order to replace the exterior door handle of the Ford Focus it is necessary to open the door and remove the rubber that is located on the inside. When this has been removed, it will be possible to loosen the bolt inside, which will allow the lock to be removed. When this has been removed, the handle will simply have to be pulled out and disconnected from its connector. At this point it will be possible to install a new handle, connecting it to the connector and inserting it in its housing. After the handle, the lock can also be inserted.

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.
