Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Bodywork
Operation: Removing the hood of the car

Removing the hood without adequate support could be a dangerous operation, as it could fall and you could be injured. Hence, one must always pay close attention. In order to remove the hood hinge, the following must be removed: the side indicator lights, the front bumper, the front light units, the front fender panel. The windshield washer hose is then disconnected and removed: the hood insulator, the gasket holding the engine compartment / passenger compartment separation panel, the hood, the hood hinge and the hood support rod. All of this must then be installed in reverse order of the removal process.

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.
