How to disassemble alternator on Smart 451

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Alternator

Let's see how to remove the damaged alternator of the Smart Fortwo. We lift the car on a jack and remove the rear wheel in conjunction with the part where the alternator is mounted. We remove the plastic lining in the lower part of the mudguard (stone guard), we arrive at the alternator placed under the engine compartment. We disassemble the alternator and its belt. We remove the damaged alternator and mount a new one (same size and voltage). At the end of the assembly of the alternator we just have to mount all the plastic coatings of the car with attached tightening screws. We test the correct charging of the battery by the new alternator.
