Replace the front pads and disc of the Smart Fortwo

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

What to do if we want to replace the front brake disc of the Smart? Let's see the disassembly of the disc with the relative tablets. After removing the rear wheel, we unscrew the pins of the brake caliper by detaching it from the support: we detach the brake pads. Remove the caliper support and unscrew the pins on the disc brake (torx insert screwdriver), pull the disc towards us with our hands in order to remove it from the wheel hub. We assemble the brake disc with all the pins attached, we tighten the caliper support to the disc and the pads, then, we assemble the brake caliper. We test the functioning of the brakes with the dedicated pedal.
