How to Replace the Brake Disc on a Ford Focus 2

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Brake rotors

In this video tutorial, see how to replace the brake disc on a Ford Focus 2 by following these simple steps: first, purchase the brake discs from an authorised dealer; next, lift the bonnet and secure it with the prop rod; unscrew the cap of the brake fluid reservoir. Loosen the wheel bolts using a 19mm socket (to avoid accidents, lift the wheel while loosening the bolts). Raise the front of the vehicle using a jack and position safety stands. Remove the wheel and use a crowbar to separate the brake pads; clean the fastening elements with a wire brush and then use WD-40 spray to treat the fastening elements. Unscrew the brake caliper bracket attachment with a 14mm socket. Remove the brake caliper along with its bracket. Use a wire to tie the caliper to the suspension without disconnecting it from the flexible hose. Remove the brake disc and install the new brake disc. Use a brake cleaner to remove the anti-corrosive grease from the new disc (let it act for a minute) and then install the brake caliper along with the bracket.
