2005-2007 Ford Focus Front Brake Pad Replacement

Giriş

The steps in this guide are used to replace the brake pads on all Focus models in the 2005-2007 generation, except for the ST model, which has slightly different brakes. Caution should be exercised when working with brake and suspension components, and proper safety goggles should be worn at all times.

Whenever working on your car's brakes and suspension, work on one side at a time. Keep the other side completely assembled so that you can reference it at any time.

Never drive a car if the brakes on one side only are changed, because the car will "pull" to one side.

Thank you, I found your instructions very helpful indeed but I am still not sure if I should bleed the brakes afterwards and if so which wheel do I start at?

Sally - Yanıt

When removing the guide pins they seem very hard to remove with an Allen/Hex key .. any tips?

khalz - Yanıt

Excellent guide --- many thanks ! Also applicable with virtually no modifications to my 2012 Ford Ikon, except that on my car the guide pins needed a size 45 Torx bit to unscrew. I had to replace the rotors as well, and discovered Ford had used threadlocking compound on the mounting bolts for the bracket, making them the devil to remove without pneumatic wrench. Threadlocking compound should be outlawed !!
