Loosen the fixing pins of the wheels before lifting it and then lift the car with a jack by applying car stands to complete the disassembly of the wheel. Remove the protective caps of the caliper fixing pins and loosen them. Pry with a screwdriver between the pads to space them and facilitate the extraction of the caliper. Then remove the caliper and extract the old pads, fully retract the caliper cylinder and insert the new pads by connecting the wear sensor socket, tightening the caliper fixing pins.

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.
