Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Brake pads
Operation: Replacement of front brake pads

To replace the front brake pads, lift the car on suitable car stands, remove the front wheel and, before starting to remove the caliper, lever between the disc and the caliper so that the piston is fully retracted; at this point release the external sealing spring, remove the protection caps of the pins fixing the caliper to the relative support and unscrew them to be able to remove it; therefore extract the old pads, make sure that the piston is at the end of its stroke and insert the new ones and then proceed backwards for reassembly, paying particular attention to re-hook the external spring.

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.
