Raise the car on suitable car stands and remove the front wheel; remove the protective caps in correspondence with the fixing pins of the caliper to the relative support and unscrew them to be able to remove the caliper itself; remove the old pads, clean the caliper fixing pins from any dirt residues and lubricate them with copper grease, apply grease also on the back of the pads and in correspondence with the sliding plates; retract the caliper piston and reassemble by proceeding backwards; pump on the brake pedal until the latter opposes the right resistance and in any case pay attention to the first braking.

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.
