Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Drums and shoes
Operation: How do you replace the rear brake shoes on a Ford Focus?

In order to replace the rear brake shoes on the Ford Focus, the car must be lifted using a jack, so that the corresponding wheel is not in contact with the floor: after the wheel has been lifted, it will be necessary to loosen the bolts that fix it to its housing, removing it completely and accessing the components in its rear part. It will be possible to remove the drum by unscrewing the central nut that fixes it and thus accessing the underlying jaws: these must be removed from their housing, freeing them from the brake actuation mechanism, replacing them with new spare parts.

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.
