How to remove the alternator of a Smart ForTwo

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

Before we can begin, we will have to go and lift the rear side of our Smart ForTwo. So let's start by unscrewing and removing the bolts that secure the right rear wheel, and then removing the wheel itself. After that, we will have to unscrew and remove the bolts that secure the alternator to its housing. By doing so, we will have freed the alternator itself. At this point, we will have to go to disconnect the electrical connectors connected to the alternator. When we have completed this last step, we will be able to extract the alternator from the engine compartment, and we will have finished the disassembly.
