Alternator replacement of a Smart Fortwo

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

Is the Smart Fortwo alternator damaged? Let's see how it disassembles. We disconnect the battery terminals located in the passenger compartment of the Smart. We open the engine compartment (we raise the rear hood), let's put it in safety. We lift the car onto a column bridge; We remove the covers under the engine by unscrewing and tightening screws. We remove the alternator belt, unscrew the screws on the side of the alternator. We extract the damaged alternator from the engine compartment (inside the engine compartment). We mount the new alternator inside the engine compartment and connect the belt. We mount the motor protection panel. We connect the terminals to the battery and turn on the Smart to test the operation.
