Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Rear bumper
Operation: Rear bumper removal instructions

To be able to remove the rear bumper, start with the screws along the edge of the wheel arch (it may be more convenient to remove the rear wheel but it can also be done without); then move the wheel arch to access the screws below and remove the rear fog light, disconnecting the bulb holder; then unscrew the screws along the closing edge of the rear lid and then those along the lower edge of the bumper itself; at this point it is possible to remove the bumper from its seat by pulling it backwards: the bumper is actually a plastic covering band that covers the shock absorber below.

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.
