Gear lever maintenance on Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Transmission

First, wrap the attachment of the knob to the gear lever with a lot of paper tape or with rags, then use a rather large pliers (perhaps those with snap grip) to unscrew slightly, by about 45 degrees, the aforementioned attack. The fact of wrapping it therefore has the purpose of avoiding damaging it. Now pull the knob with your hand, turning it slightly at the same time to help it come out of its seat. Grease the plastic area at the top of the gear lever, then the lever itself and the internal attachment, with a special spray such as the HHS 2000. Reassemble the knob on the lever.

How to Replace the Brake Pads on a BMW X3

For this operation, you will need to remove the wheel where you will perform the replacement, so it will be convenient to lift your vehicle and place it on jack stands; this way, you will work much more comfortably. To remove the spring that holds the front pads, use a flathead screwdriver. Now, unscrew the bolts that secure the piston to the pads, then remove it, giving you access to both pads that brake the rotor. Of course, repeat the same steps on the other side if the same replacements are needed.
