How to replace the rear wheel bearing on a Smart 451

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

Let's see how to replace the rear wheel bearing on a Smart 451. First we have to lift the car, so let's not trust our jack too much, let's use a jack and two stands instead. We unscrew the wheel. We remove the T30 screw from the hub, the central nut is a 16. If the central cover does not come off easily, spray it abundantly with WD-40, let it act, then help us with a hammer and a chisel (which, as we know, solve all mechanical problems) let's get the cover out. The new piece can be found on E-Bay at code 323977680705 and costs 64.00 euros. Being inclusive of the hub it is a bit easier to change. The difficult thing is to keep the drive shaft in place, otherwise we will not be able to unscrew the four screws that hold the hub in place. We replace the bearing, spreading it with copper grease; close with the new bolt and put the wheel back in its place. Job finished.

How to Remove the Front Shock Absorber on a Peugeot 406

How to remove the front shock absorber on a Peugeot 406? The first step is to lift the bonnet and secure it with the prop rod. Use a socket wrench to unscrew the shock absorber mounting bolts (engine bay), lift the car on a column lift and remove the front wheel. Unscrew the shock absorber mounting bolts at the wheel hub (detach the brake line clips with a screwdriver). Unscrew the bolts on the side, then remove the shock absorber from its housing (place a support under the bar). Compare the old part with the new one and prepare for installation. Fit the new shock absorber to the car, working in reverse order.
