How to Change the front brakes

Focus front brakes
In order to change the front brakes on a Focus you must first jack the vehicle up into the air and remove the tire for the side that you want to change. Once the tire has been removed you can see the brake rotor and the brake pads within the caliper. To install new brake pads you only have to remove the brake caliper and swap out the pads. When reinstalling the brake caliper you must torque the caliper bolts to 30 ft-lbs. If you need to remove the entire brake bracket for any job when you go to reinstall it make sure to torque its bolts to 75 ft-lbs.

How to change the rear brakes

Focus Rear brakes
The rear brakes on the Ford Focus are drum brakes which consists of many small components and springs. For replacement I recommend getting a kit which includes all new parts and springs along with new brake shoes which will be installed into drum. To access the brake components you need to remove the rear wheel and then pry off the drum brake cover. Behind the cover you can see all the parts including the brake shoes which are the stopping components and wear the most. This is shown in the picture. To replace you can remove the parts one by one and replace with the new ones. Once completed with all the parts you can put the drum back into place and tighten down the wheel.
