Operation: How to change the alternator in a 2008 Ford Focus step by step

When you want to replace the alternator on a 2004 Ford Focus the first thing to do is disconnect the battery, the alternator wires and remove the belt from the pulley, being careful not to break it. To remove the alternator you will have to position yourself under the car. Remove the power steering hose, first from the side with the quick coupling, then from the fixed one. Disconnect the power connectors, remove the power steering oil pan. Remove the belt and now you can extract the alternator and proceed with the assembly of the new one, fixing it with the previously stored bolts.

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.
