How do you replace the timing chain of the Smart?

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Timing belt

It will be possible to replace the timing chain of the Smart by first lifting the car to remove the right rear wheel: once this has been removed, it will also be possible to detach the inner wheel arch cover panel. This will provide access to the chain, which can be removed by loosening the screws that secure the tensioner: at this point, it will be possible to position the new replacement part onto the respective sprockets to bring it back to tension. Then, it will be possible to reassemble all the components that were just removed to verify that everything works.
