Replacing Brake Pads on Smart 450

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

Loosen the bolts securing the affected front wheel, lift the car with a jack, and completely unscrew the aforementioned bolts to remove the wheel. Using a 17 mm and a 13 mm spanner, detach the pin holding the brake caliper with the pads to the disc. At this point, it is straightforward to extract the worn pads. Push the piston to widen the space for the new pads, which will obviously be thicker than the removed ones. Insert them and work backwards until fully reassembled. Repeat the process on the other front wheel.
