Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Third brake light
Operation: How to remove the third stop of a Smart ForTwo 451

Before we can start, we will have to get out of the cockpit of our Smart ForTwo 451, and then head towards the rear of the car. So let's start by unscrewing and removing the screws that secure the third stop to the tailgate. After that, we will have to go to disengage and extract the third stop itself. By doing so, we will have freed him. At this point we will have to unhook the clip that fixes the connector, and then disconnect the connector itself. When we have disconnected the connector, we will be able to definitively remove the third stop of our Smart ForTwo 451, and we will have completed the disassembly.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
