Believe it or not, remove the intake manifold. What might be an hour of work there, gives you the best access to the starter motor. 5 minute changeover of the starter.
Just look at all that room |

A good video with tips on how to remove the manifold. Some slight differences as it is on the US version of the Focus, but essentially the same engine and manifold: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_DnE4YlZRg
