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.
