How to Replace the Brake Pads on a Ford Focus?

[ElizaAnn]

Before replacing the brake pads on a Ford Focus, it is necessary to first check the brake fluid. If the brake fluid level is above the maximum limit, some of the brake fluid should be extracted to prevent overflow during the replacement process. Next, remove the wheel where the brake is located, use a wrench with a socket to remove the bolts of the brake caliper, then take off the old brake pads and install the new ones. The wear condition of the brake pads on a Ford Focus depends on three factors: 1. The quality of the brake pads, i.e., their wear resistance; 2. If the vehicle is frequently driven on steep mountain roads with frequent brake use (or often overloaded), the wear will be faster, otherwise it will be slower; 3. Driving habits. A well-trained driver can maintain a moderate speed, decelerate in advance when encountering obstacles, and generally avoids unnecessary sudden braking, which not only saves fuel but also reduces brake pad wear. Therefore, it is important to check the brake condition during every subsequent maintenance to ensure safety.
