Yes, easy job, I did it in December on my sons 1 lit eco boost ford focus. What is the main cause of the belt failure ?? Is it a recall or just lack of oil changes ??
Belt failure is the combination of a lack of oil changes and incorrect oil grade. But it's primaliry a bad design of a rotating rubber part constantly in hot oil. The belt breaks down and bits of rubber come off and block the oil pump strainer Engine then starved of oil. Eco boom!
last week I changed mine, the filter had been put on by Hulk at the dealer, I had to use the "chain tool" with only one hand since there's no space for both around the filter, really a lot of swearing was involved PS: did you try to prefill the filter? I didn't and a friend of mine told me it could hurt the engine, but the filter is horizontal duh
