How to open the Smart Fortwo tailgate

Model: Smart Smart 453 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Checks and maintenance

Very simple maintenance, like we open the tailgate of a Smart Fortwo. Let's see the guide. We press the button above the tailgate handle, press and lift the glass. The tailgate of the Smart is divided into two pieces. We take the lever and pull it upwards until the lock clicks; we lower the tailgate up to the block of the metal guides. We carry out maintenance inside the luggage compartment or inside the engine compartment. To close the tailgate, first lift the lower part and then the upper part (rear window glass).

Removing the Front Arm Bushing of a Hyundai Getz

Let's look at removing the front arm bushing of a Hyundai Getz. First, place the car on a column lift and loosen the wheel nuts with a telescopic spanner, then remove the wheel. Use a socket spanner to unscrew the lower securing bolt of the arm and the bolt mounted under the wheel hub, then unscrew the bolts on the upper part of the arm (as shown in the video). Remove the bushing from the bolt housing. Always compare the parts to be replaced with the new ones; if they are suitable, you can install them. Start the installation of the new part: fit the new bushing and tighten all bolts to the specified torque. Double-check the correct tightening of the parts. Refit the wheel to complete the job.
