Tablet replacements on Smart Forfour

Model: Smart Smart 453 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Brake pads

Raise the vehicle using a suitable jack and remove the affected front wheel by unscrewing the bolts. As shown in the video, remove the two rear caliper bolt covers by hand and then unscrew those bolts. Also remove the iron clip and take the caliper off the disc. In turn, at this point you can remove the tablets from the caliper. Push back the piston that holds the brake pads and, while you are at it, clean the entire braking system. Insert the new pads inside the caliper and refit the same to the disc. Refit the wheel and that's it.
