How do you change the brake pads on a 2000 Ford Focus?

I always have my vehicle worked on professionaly. Unless you are certified or really know what you are doing, you shouldn't ever work on anything, at least not without being supervised by someone who knows, of a major nature on your car that could endanger your life and those around you if it should slip and fail. Trust me. Even if you do it yourself you should take it in and have it checked.

Go to your local garage mateHow do you change the brake pads on a 2000 Ford Focus?Every car is different (so a step by step is hard to do) but none of them are very hard if you are mechanically inclined and have a few tools. Doing the job yourself is much cheaper then bringing it to a shop and then you have the satifactions of a job well done (hopefully). The best thing to do is when you go buy the pads at your local autozone (or whatever parts store you prefer) you also pick up the appropriate vehicle repair manual for your car. You can also order these books online at www.chiltonsonline.com . The book will cost you no more then 15 to 25 dollars depending on the book and place, but it is well worth the price, it will walk you through almost every single repair on your car. The people at the parts store can help you figure out what, if any, special tools you will need.
