How do you adjust the handbrake on a ford focus?

Answer 1

Using a flat head screwdriver very carefully flick the console part of the hand brake from the centre to the front and very gently prise it up or trust me the plastic console part will break the back part does lift up with a little persuasion with the screw driver , the adjuster nut can be found on the right side of the hand break at the rear of the unit remove the locking washer and with a 13 mm open ended spanner or long reach socket tighten clockwise the adjuster nut with the hand brake off but with the vehicle in gear to prevent rolling away. every two or three turns apply your foot on the break peddle . let the car roll and apply the hand break this should stop the vehicle on the third click to a full stop . the next click ie; number 4 is the piece of mind click take off the hand break and allow vehicle to roll to check for break bind ,it should be free .

Fit all that has been removed gently and away you go if unlike me you have not broken the console gaitor then you should be proud .
