Part: Drive shaft
Operation: How to remove the front axle shaft of the Ford Focus

In this video tutorial we will see how to remove and replace the front axle shaft of the Ford Focus, following the instructions below. First of all we lift the car and start by unscrewing the fixing screws that we find under the engine, removing the plastic panel; after which we unscrew the gear oil vent screw, letting it drain into a container, as shown in the video. At this point we are going to remove the front wheel and disconnect the axle shaft from the braking system, removing all the pins; we unscrew the screws of the drive shaft to remove it and replace it with the new one!

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.
