Dismantling the dashboard Ford Focus 2

1. We snap off the latches indicated in the photo in red.

2. We get 2 separate elements.

3. Turn all the arrows counterclockwise until they stop, and mark their location with a pencil.

4. Carefully remove the silver caps from the arrows and the arrows themselves.

Notes:

To prevent the arrow from breaking, hold it at the base and gently pull it up, prying it on the other side with a wide knife.

5. Remove the film with scales.

6. Unfasten the back cover and take out the board. First you need to bend the latches.

Note:

It is recommended to clean the on-board computer board at the same time, as over time it becomes covered with dust and dims.

7. The assembly of the Ford Focus 2 instrument panel occurs in the reverse order.

Note:

To assemble the arrows, we first put caps on them, and then we put the arrows in place in the assembly. But do not press hard on the arrows - they can sink and subsequently cling to the scale. When properly installed, when turning the arrows counterclockwise, they should rest against the previously set marks.
