How to open the hood of a Smart

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

Opening the hood of a Smart requires a slightly different procedure than most other cars. In this video we will see how to do it. First of all it is necessary to go in front of our Smart and act on the grid; in this part of the car there are in fact the hooks that will allow you to open the hood. Let's go to the right side of the grid; we will be able to find, paying attention, the first hook. Let's pull it towards us making sure it is well open. Once this is done, let's go to the left side of the grid and look for the other hook. We then repeat the opening procedure. At this point it will be possible to remove the hood.

How to Remove the Front Brake Rotor on a BMW X3

Let's see how to remove the front brake rotor on a BMW X3. Position your car on a column lift and raise it to a comfortable height for working. Loosen the bolts with a socket wrench or air drill and remove the wheel, then start loosening the bolts of the brake caliper to detach it from the bracket, using a screwdriver to remove the brake pads. Now remove the caliper bracket and loosen the bolts on the brake rotor (using a Torx screwdriver), pull the rotor towards you to slide it off the wheel hub. Install the new brake rotor with all the associated bolts, tighten the caliper bracket to the rotor and the brake pads, then install the brake caliper, making sure to tighten all the bolts securely. Before mounting the wheel, bleed the brake caliper and then tighten the bolt. Finally, install the wheel with the bolts.
