Let's see in this guide how to disassemble and replace the starter motor of the Ford Focus, following the instructions below. First of all, open the bonnet and start by disassembling and removing the battery, disconnecting the terminals (positive and negative pole) and unscrewing the bracket screws; we also disassemble the air filter box, disconnecting the electric connector of the flow meter and removing the intake manifold. At this point we raise the car and remove the lower panel of the engine; then we unscrew the fixing screws of the starter motor, until it can be removed and replaced!

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.
