How to replace the alternator of a Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Alternator

Let's see how to replace the alternator of the Smart Fortwo, without lowering the engine, lacking the necessary equipment from the youtuber. First, remove the belt cover, and we are faced with a seized bolt, making it very difficult to remove. He then disconnected the battery - always a good idea, because it's better to avoid trouble. Now the problem to solve is that of the seized bolt, which cannot be unscrewed. To reach the alternator, it was then necessary to drain all the oil from the sump, which must necessarily be removed, being right in front. The alternator must then be freed from its cables and carefully removed from its housing. The youtuber wants to repair the device, but if we simply want to replace it, we can find it on Amazon with the code B0CR1B4TBG at the price of 128.49 euros, free delivery for Prime customers.

Unscrew the shock absorber mounting bolts at the wheel hub (detach the brake line clips with a screwdriver). Unscrew the bolts on the side, then remove the shock absorber from its housing (place a support under the bar). Compare the old part with the new one and prepare for installation. Fit the new shock absorber to the car, working in reverse order.
