Replacement of brake pads on Smart 450

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Brake pads

Loosen the bolts holding the affected front wheel in place, lift the car with a jack and completely unscrew the aforementioned bolts in order to remove the wheel. Using a 17 and 13 mm wrench, remove the pin that keeps the brake caliper anchored with the pads to the disc. At this point it is child's play to take out the worn tablets. Push the piston in order to widen the seat space for the new pads, which will obviously be much thicker than those removed. Insert them and proceed backwards until complete reassembly. Repeat the operation on the other front wheel.

How to Replace the Gear Shift Gaiter of the Honda CR-V

You can purchase an aftermarket gear shift cover complete with a knob, made of leather with coloured stitching. The disassembly is quite straightforward: start by unscrewing the gear shift knob by twisting it. Next, detach the trim at the base of the gear lever by prying along the edges. Then, remove the chrome trim that holds the gaiter in place, peeling off the leather edges from the plastic support. Apply new double-sided adhesive to the plastic tabs to insert and stick the edges of the new gaiter, securing it with the chrome trim. Finally, fit the gaiter complete with the knob onto the gear lever, securing it with the appropriate screws and reattaching the trim to the tunnel support.
