Removing Rear Brake Pads on Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Brake pads

Replacing damaged brake pads on a Smart Fortwo? Here’s how to remove them. Lift the car on a column lift to the desired height, then remove the wheel with the respective bolts. Undo the retaining bolt of the brake caliper and remove it from the wheel hub. Use a screwdriver to detach the brake pads from the brake caliper. Fit the new brake pads onto the brake caliper. Refit the brake caliper over the brake disc (tighten all the bolts and refit the wheel). Replace the other worn brake pads on the Smart Fortwo.
