Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Brake pads
Operation: How to replace the pads in the Smart 451

In today's video we see how to replace the brake pads in the second series Smart. First, we recommend lifting the car on the lift or on the jack; before that we loosen the bolts of the tire where we will operate. Once this is done we can lift the car and proceed with the complete extraction of the tyre. We then intervene on the pads, proceeding to remove the worn components, then replace them with new units. Once this is done and verified that everything is ok, we finish our current work, remounting the tires and screwing the sealing bolts back on.

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.
