Remove the spark plugs on Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Spark plugs

Do you want to remove the spark plugs of your Smart Fortwo car? Let's see in this video in detail how to proceed with disassembly. We open the engine / luggage compartment, lift the engine cover panel as shown in the video. Remove the metal cover of the motor, then unscrew the locking pins of the coils with a special socket wrench; we grab it with our hands and rotate it in a twist way, until it is extracted from the head. Unscrew the spark plugs with a socket wrench (extract them from the head) and take the new glow plug and insert it into the engine head with the socket wrench. Finally we reassemble the metal head cover panel.
