Replacing the alternator belt on Smart cars

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Alternator

To get to the alternator on Smart 450 you have to remove the right rear wheel. So loosen the bolts, lift the vehicle and remove the bolts first and then the wheel. Remove the two clips that secure the plastic protection and disassemble it as shown in the video. Loosen the two alternator top and front screws and, when the alternator belt is no longer under tension, remove it. The video shows how to also replace the air conditioning compressor belt as the procedure is similar. Similarly, proceed in reverse for assembly. Good job!
