Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Brake pads
Operation: How to replace the brakes on the Smart Fortwo

Worn brake pads? Let's see how they disassemble on a Smart Fortwo. We raise the car on a column point to the desired height: we remove the circle with the respective pins. We unscrew the locking pin of the brake caliper, remove the same from the wheel support. We remove the pads from the brake caliper with a screwdriver. Let's go and mount the new pads on the brake caliper. We mount the brake caliper above the brake disc (we tighten all the pins and mount the wheel). We replace the other worn tablets of the Smart Fortwo. We replace the brake disc if it is damaged (worn).

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
