Front Brake Pads Replacement Ford Focus 2012 2013 2014 2015 How to replace the Front Brakes
► Our Website for Tools, Parts and more Videos: mechaniclifesty...
We took this video to show you how to remove and replace the front brake pads on a Ford Focus Third Generation (MK3) This will cover years from 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 Model.
We demonstrated on the 2.0 engine but the other are either identical or very close to this procedure.
Make sure that you use good quality brake pads because if you use cheap brake pads they might not stop as good and even cause premature wear on the disk brake rotors.
This procedure should work on:
2012 Ford Focus Front Brake Pads Replacement
2013 Ford Focus Front Brake Pads Replacement
2014 Ford Focus Front Brake Pads Replacement
2015 Ford Focus Front Brake Pads Replacement
2016 Ford Focus Front Brake Pads Replacement

[@Egghead72]

Thanks so much, this was a huge help. I changed my brakes for 25 bucks instead of 150 to get them done for me, times are tough, Thanks again.

[@Kaptinkaptink10]

Even now, huge help

[@joeb9986]

Don't know if you guys are still out there - just wanted to say this video was very helpful and i had no issues. Without it I wouldn't have known where to start. Thank you!

[@jrewillis]

Super helpful. Thank you. Replaced both sides in less than an hour :)

[@tombender685]

I love the borat narration.

[@johnwilson8990]

Lol

[@blaisemacpherson7637]

High five!

[@TheShinobi0703]

Thanks your video was super helpful! Saved me while I was out of town for work filled with 6-8% Mtn. Grades.

[@bricelewis7869]

My heart skipped a beat when you let the caliper hang by the brake hose like that!

[@davidmartinez6534]

Brice Lewis smh can't let the brake hose hang like that!!!

[@ShaneTheMunchist]

I agree

[@dean6125]

you can get away with it if you careful but of course its not recommended. Ive done it numerous times but on one occasion the caliper lost power, it seemed like it was seized, but the flexi-hose pipe was damaged internally - likely from leaving it hang. Sometimes you can end up pulling tte flex while you are trying to expand the pistons too

[@dean6125]

yeh treat hose with respect. what do you mean ? :-)

[@dg7677]

Same here....smh. And why not use a C-Clamp instead of a screw driver to compress the caliper....

[@marcos76br]

Thanks for making this video. How about replacing the back brake pads? Do you have a video as well?

[@Guerrero3546]

Thanks for the safety tips. I relied on only the jack once.

[@LORDRA1DEN]

I like the video. It explained a few things on this particular car I was confused about.

[@jodo6241]

Very excited to watch this going to replace my brakes tomorrow.

[@ppupe]

Thanks for the video, just got done changing my breaks for the first time!

[@oscarprovencio6147]

Alot of help thank you for the upload saved me a fortune by not going to a mechanics

[@tirewacom]

6yr vid and still helping people like myself out 🍻 gov

[@evilution7]

Thanks for this very helpful video! Exactly what I needed. Cheers!

[@markavila3269]

Thk thk you. Just completed my sons car. Fun project

[@paycheck247]

2 things: never let the caliper hang by the hydraulic brake line, and leave the inner pad in place to make compressing the piston with a C-clamp easier. Also, some caliper bolts may be Torx T45 instead of 7mm Allen/hex

[@onewhoknowsrevenge6807]

Will said.

[@adamgatter3634]

Legend I never thought of doing this. Top man!

[@samueldeuson8604]

This video changed my life an my brake pads

[@wachsjr1]

Thank you very much fir posting this video.. thats was very helpful…!!!

[@timothy1450]

Thx..just finished..very simple.

[@RickeyBReed-jc6se]

Very helpful gentlemen, thank you for the insight. Keep up the good work.

[@escapegravitymedia]

Superb video, thank you!

[@MoisesBlasT]

thank you !

[@grizz5403]

Great video just a few things though, I noticed you just let the caliper hang by the brake line DONT DO THAT FOLKS! tThat is a lot of weight on those thin lines, you'll never want to let it dangle like that, number 2 you'll need to use a c clamp to push the piston back in while doing this again (unscrew the cap where your brake fluid/clutch fluid goes in) if you don't again you can have brake problems. Other than that useful video just may have some focus' with busted brake lines now.

[@supertylerman]

I know well enough not to let the caliper dangle like that, I can still hear my dad yelling at me.. But what do you mean by pushing the piston back in? Didn't he do that at the beginning when he used his flathead to push them in? I ask because I'm going to use this gide to do my front brakes and don't want any brake issues down the line, but I don;t know what you mean about the cap.

[@wilduke43781]

Great video guys! Is there any special requirement for the type of drill I need? Thanks.

[@davet5260]

Excellent video!!

[@charliemoore2868]

Excellent demo. Thank you. The only thing I might add relates to the master cylinder cap. Don't you need to take that off before you push the brake cylinders in to remove the caliper? Great video. I'm going to check my pads today.

[@WorldMechanics]

+Charlie Moore you do not have too. It will be easier if you do but you might have to bleed the brakes and check the brake fluid after that. We are glad that the video was helpful. If you ever need help with your vehicle let us know you can also find us on Our Official Facebook Page here: facebook.com/worldmechanicsofficialpage/?fref=ts

[@charliemoore2868]

OK, thanks for the advice. I changed the pads out yesterday. Your video was spot on. Two thumbs up.

[@dean6125]

it is recommended, something about the seals reversing in the master cylinder. I do it anyway as its good time to check levels and it makes piston lighter

[@CarnivoreAF]

Thanks for the help!

[@funnypranker34]

A friend of mine has a 2012 focus and the brake pedal goes to the floor. If it's low on fluid then that is bad. If it's worn pads this vid will help. And thank god I don't have to take the god damn clip off the caliper because I did that on a Volvo and I can't get the stupid clip on. I'll just keep the old clips even though you really should use new ones.

[@davidoburrito]

Great video thank u so much

[@aaronvarr1]

many thanks for posting this!

[@robertsherman8269]

thank you

[@DavidMiller-kv4we]

The way I always handled the caliper way back in the day was i'd use the old pad and a c-clamp to shove the caliper back. lol

[@DeweiJiang]

This work is really rough, 10/10 will not go to this place

[@craigsoderland9936]

Noooo That caliper bolt is not 7mm. I have a 2014 focus and my caliper bolts are Torx. I tried 7mm as you indicated and there was way too much slop using an allen, switching to Torx was right and tight. Yes 7mm will work but its not the right tool for the job and ultimately you will wind up buggering the head.

[@mariusunsraw]

lel that was so simple XD you winn my like XD in 30 minutes i changed bouth XD thx

[@zoechavarria7695]

Thanks, you helped me with this..👍👍

[@cantbeonedimensional9022]

Appreciate this 🤙🏾

[@alikootahi5450]

awesome video very helpful thanks

[@WorldMechanics]

Thank you! If you have any questions let us know.

[@Subjohny]

I would change rotors too

[@dennisbuttigieg8534]

easy to follow

[@musicofMEC]

how many brake pads in a 2014 ford focus for both front and rear? is it just 4, and does it matter if I buy front pads for the rear?

[@fozzyfishing7676]

When pushing back the piston don’t you have to unscrew your brake fluid cap?

[@Jellybeanie1993]

Yeah they forgot to mention that, I was trying to do that, wouldn’t work and couldn’t fit the new bigger brake pads on, we had to get a G or also called a C clamp and clamp them with the bonnet open and cap off of the brake fluid to release the pressure, they forgot to mention that, the job took me over three hours due to so many little hiccups and having to leave the job and get a C clamp

[@Jellybeanie1993]

You mention using the screw driver to compress the cylinder, I did that, but when putting on the newer ones I couldn’t get them to fit in as they wouldn’t fit, I had to get a c clamp and use that and take the lid off of my brake fluid to release the pressure that way, everything was going good till that happened and I had to stop half way when my dad said ‘you need a c clamp’ I was annoyed that it wasn’t covered in the tutorial, bet some people are going to be caught out with that happening with them as well

[@mikeglossip7598]

Its called a pad slap.....if you got $50 but not hundreds for a shop bill..... this will work about 90% of the time if there's no fluid leakage, and rotors aren't grooved or warped.

[@onewhoknowsrevenge6807]

Been a mechanic for close to 50 yrs.Watch these videos for a good laugh.And this 1 is a joke.Maybe next video ,clean the rust off the rotors,and grease the caliper slide bolts.You may find that it works better.--WOW.

[@luisaguirre5595]

Agreed and diff styles of work. Myself i resurface my rotor Everytime i replace pads. Old pad will cause unevenness speciallly those hard brakers lol and its not waste of money. New pad, new rotor or resurface it only makes sense. Rotors eat away as pads bite. Making them uneven. Then ppl wonder why they feel flutter vibration after brake job on the pedal. This wear pads even fastet aswell. And always clean the caliper properly and lube all parts with the right lubes!!! -pay it forward and not making difficult for the next guy!👍

[@jaredshelton4718]

This is shotty work

[@kevconnell5649]

Jared Shelton Used brake pads??

[@dean6125]

not a bad demo for people though. I would take off fluid cap though!

[@540jonezy]

I have 2017 Ford focus se. Will this work?

[@_multiverse_]

Yup, 12-18 are the same

[@tinculetz]

Do I need to push back the cylinder? And if so, how do you do it on a Focus? Just push, or rotate while pushing? Thanks for the video! Cheers.

[@WorldMechanics]

+Adrian Tinca you will need to push it. you do not need to rotate it. the front ones are just push.

[@tinculetz]

+World Mechanics thanks for your reply. The same applies for the back brakes cylinders - just push?

[@WorldMechanics]

let us check and I will let you know. usually most rear ones need to turn because of the hand brake

[@tinculetz]

+World Mechanics thank you a lot! really appreciate it.

[@Subjohny]

Adrian Tinca use c-clamp

[@dukebrunner119]

Dont let the caliper hang like that youll break the hose

[@tane2875481]

By. Not changing pads u left out important part. How to depress cylinder. I use a c clamp

[@chrisl2090]

Was just gonna say.. I use a C clamp as well. :)

[@johnk6284]

Seemed easier by how he showed the decompression from the flat head

[@williamshaw667]

He did show how to depress cylinder with a screw driver while it was still mounted on the vehicle seems like a better way that I did back in the day.

[@edgarcruz4038]

We're did you jack it from man

[@mvick07hoppus44]

Looks like the harbor freight one i have

[@johnk6284]

If you have the identical car he has, if you look very closely to the standard skirt panel on the side of your car, you can see a little arrow showing you where to instert the jack. It would be on the frame itself

[@paulmendenhall5226]

Anti seze is better than oil

[@blankk7735]

Yo do these cars use the back brakes??

[@nathanpayne7598]

Shoety. Work. Never let caliper hang by hose and never install new pads on rusty groves rotors either have them turned. Or install new rotors, those new pads will fail before 1000 miles. Use C clamp to push piston in on caliper. I would not want to ride in his car.

[@RDMGAMER]

what new pads he put the old ones back on. lol

[@edwardbiglang-awa7313]

No torque wrench for all bolts

[@bumblebeechitus325]

Steps unclear. Currently in a ditch

[@kingwilliams8521]

You forget to tell people how to shrink the caliper down so people can fit the break pads on.

[@Nathan-cs5mg]

Nicolas Williams so how do I?

[@johnk6284]

He shows it by using a flat head screw driver to decompress the caliper. Another way is to take brakes completely off and then use a C clamp to decompress the caliper

[@nonperishables5870]

That is a piss pour way to do a brake job. From the way you pushed the piston back in to allowing the caliper hang by the hose. Lazy is what it is.

[@kevinatspeed]

@MrBrucelee117 when pushing the piston back into the caliper...if not done with even pressure there is a risk of the piston not going in square with the bore. In addition, when pushing the piston back into the caliper, this is a great opportunity to crack open the caliper bleeder screw. instead of pushing old fluid that has been inside that caliper..getting hot..cooling off, getting hot...back into the master cylinder, get rid of it. That's two birds one stone. put a hose over the end of the bleeder. Route that hose to a container into which you've already added some brake fluid. open the bleeder screw. compress the piston. old fluid leaves the system and because the hose is suspended in fluid, there''s no chance of air getting into the system. add new fluid to the master cylinder reservoir.

[@toddsaul]

At 2:00 This guy has two left hands.

[@19Mackie]

He said a 7mm what ?

[@travishurst7038]

M Smith Sounded like 7mm hex-key

[@Bub1029]

Alan wrench

[@adrianmellingseter4241]

😁👍🏼

[@_multiverse_]

This is the backwoods squatting Slav way of changing break pads......so much wrong with this video.

[@_multiverse_]

@Bo Zo Nope, i don't work for a dealer..... I don't plan on selling my soul. When I do breaks on my cars everything gets replaced with new. After all, breaks are the only part of the car I don't cheap out on. My and my Loved ones safety rely on them.... I always remove rust with a wire wheel, clean the inside of the slide pin housing with Scotch Brite and always always replace the pins and dust boots...and apply a high quality silicone grease to all contact areas. This ensures reliable and trouble free break operation for years to come.

[@milek021]

Horrible work... caliper hanging, oil on slide pins...

[@siujnr3170]

Very rough 🤦‍♂️🤣

[@safeinsound432]

What the hell.

[@motube2389]

Who in world change his brake pads to put an old pair !?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[@reptile902]

moe raw they're just showing HOW to replace pads, not actually replacing them

[@BenHamo1]

Awful job 😂

[@adriancastellanos226]

Tell me what garage you work at so I won't go there. Rough with the car. No tip.

[@zachmurri]

Thank you
