To adjust the rear brakes on the 2001 Ford Focus ZX3, first remember these brakes are self-adjusting. Drive the vehicle in reverse and press the brake a few times to clear the lines and set the calipers. Then, stop the car. Place it in park and pull the emergency brake. Pump the brake while the vehicle is turned off. You will feel the brake peddle stiffen.
