Before you can start, open the bonnet of your Ford Focus. The heater radiator is located at the rear of the engine bay. To disconnect the two hoses attached to it, release the respective clips.

Rotate them clockwise by ninety degrees to unclip successfully. At this point, to disconnect the hoses, simply pull them towards you to remove them from their fittings.

Once you complete this step, you will have successfully disassembled it.
