Removing and installing the brake pedal (Focus 2)

            0

The brake pedal is removed for replacement if there is a squeak, sticking or increased play, as well as if the return spring is damaged. In addition, the brake pedal assembly with the throttle control pedal must be removed to gain access to the filter for cleaning the air entering the passenger compartment when replacing the filter.

You will need: a 13 mm socket head, fine-nosed pliers, and a thin-bladed screwdriver.
