Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart Roadster, 452 - Years 2003-2005
Part: Muffler
Operation: How to remove and refit the muffler of a Smart Roadster

Disassemble the muffler on our Smart Roadster: first we have to remove the rear windows. Which are only held by 4 screws per side. Remove the grilles, the light units, the rear bumper. At this point we can access the muffler, and to remove it from its support there are only 4 screws and a rear plug. We clean the housing well and place the new piece that we will have purchased according to our needs (more or less sporty, but always with an approved silencer). At this point we can do the reverse operations. We reattach the plug, put the screws back on, we test the sound of the new muffler, after which we can reassemble the rear bumper, the light units, the grilles and the rear windows. The work is done.

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.
