How to replace the front brake pads on the Ford Focus MK1.

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Brake pads

In this video, we see how to replace the brake pads on a Ford Focus MK1. First, we open the hood and remove the cap from the brake fluid reservoir. Then, we unscrew the bolts from the front wheels and lift the car, securing it with jack stands (we shouldn't rely too much on our jack). Next, we remove the front wheels. We clean the brake calipers thoroughly, even using WD-40 if necessary. Then, we remove the upper and lower bolts and move the caliper. We remove the brake pads and take out the piston. Next, we install the new pads, applying copper grease to the ends to prevent squeaking. We clean the disc with a suitable product and then proceed to re-install the caliper: we close the springs, tighten the bolts, and spray copper grease in the central part. We can put the wheels back on and lower the car. We close the brake fluid cap. Finally, we press the brake pedal a few times to circulate the fluid. The operation is complete.
