Before you can start, open the rear engine cover located beneath the boot of your Smart ForTwo. Begin by removing the battery by disconnecting the two terminals and unscrewing the support bracket bolts. Next, remove the air filter housing by unscrewing the screws and disconnecting the relevant hoses.

This will give you access to the starter motor. Proceed by disconnecting the electrical connector, then unscrew and remove the bolts to free the starter motor.

Once you complete this step, you can remove the starter motor, and the disassembly will be finished.
