Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Drums and shoes
Operation: Rear drum disassembly instructions

Place the car on suitable car stands and remove the rear wheels: on the drum there are two threaded holes inside which two pins must be inserted and screwed that will act as an extractor (screw both pins progressively); during the extraction phase, with the pins under tension, it is advisable to give the drum a few blows of the hammer in order to make it unblock. It is necessary to proceed very gradually to avoid that the drum can get stuck and get stuck, making disassembly particularly difficult; it is suggested not to spray release spray which could contaminate the jaws.

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.
