In order to replace the alternator belt of the Smart 451 you have to lift the car by means of a bridge and loosen all the bolts that secure the left front wheel. Once the wheel has been removed, it will be possible to access the underlying components and loosen the tensioner bolt. Now, it will be possible to loosen the bolts that hold the shock absorber both at the top and at the bottom. Below it will be the alternator belt, which will need to be removed by loosening the corresponding pulley pin. After removal, a new spare part can be installed.
