35005CP Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Hi all, I am new to this forum. I have some experience of Ford Focus. How do you go about Changing the Front and Rear Pads and Discs all round on a 2002 Ford Mondeo? Is it an easy job? Such as the Pads/front discs on a Ford Focus? Any help/advice would be much appreciated. Thanks Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegtuk Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 hope these to links help. first two for the pads, the front disc is simple, just remove the calipers with two bolts. http://www.fordwiki.co.uk/index.php?title=Brake_Pads_-_Changing_Front http://www.fordwiki.co.uk/index.php?title=Brake_Pads_-_Changing_Rear the rear is a little more complex with having hand brake, this link says about bearings but it explains how to get disc off first http://www.fordwiki.co.uk/index.php/Rear_Wheel_Bearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35005CP Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 Thanks Steve. Will come in useful when I do the brakes when the weather cheers up. Do you know how to go about adjusting the Handbrake cable? The handbrake Lever goes high and still doesn't hold the car completely when it is on.

stevegtuk Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 theres a manual adjuster on the handbrake cable equalizer, when youve done the pads, tighten that up and see if it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35005CP Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 The pads are okay at the moment. Can I do this now? Which rear wheel (Passenger or Drivers Side) is the manual adjuster on? and is it an easy thing to do? Thanks Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Andy The manual ajuster is in the middle of the car, where the nearside and offside handbrake cables meet to join with the main cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegtuk Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 if you get the haynes manual it has plenty of pictures. or get underneath and have a look, if you follow the two cables till they meet you will see the adjuster then just tighetn up accordingly :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wase16ll Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 folks, you need to make sure you activate the handbrake lever on the caliper until piston contacts back of new pads before making any adjustments on the cable[or operating the foot pedal]...you can move the lever by hand, or keep pulling on the handbrake lever till that contact is made... otherwise the handbrake mechanism inside the caliper stays fully extracted, therefore requires more movement of the lever on rear of caliper, therefore more adjustment on cable to compensate the slack. it may well adjust eventually if you dont do above procedure first, it may not, as ive never fitted new pads without doing this first....and ive yet to adjust a cable afterwards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
