Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Brake pads
Operation: Repair of brake pads

Checking and replacing the brake pads is important as the efficiency of the braking system depends on them. To replace them, you need to turn the steering wheel to the side you want to work on, so that the calipers can be easily reached. After jacking up the car, take a hex wrench and unscrew the Allen screws that hold the caliper to the hub on the rear side. Once the Allen screws have been removed, the caliper is removed from the disc and pressed on the worn pipes to extract them. To insert the new pads, the piston must be spread apart with the help of a flat screwdriver.

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.
