How to remove the spark plugs on Smart Fortwo 450

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Spark plugs

As you already know, on Smart Fortwo the engine is accessed from the rear, therefore from the trunk. Unscrew the engine compartment bolts and remove it. We can already see the first three candles (if you don't know which ones they are, follow the video). Now you just need to unscrew the spark plug and insert the new one, screwing it obviously. You may already know that your spark plug car actually has six! Where are the other three? We tell you. It is located behind the right rear wheel arch, which you will then need to remove by unscrewing its bolts. Again nothing complex: unscrew the exhausted candle and put on the new one.
