How to replace the front bulbs in the Smart

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Light bulb

In today's video we see how to replace the headlight bulbs in the first series of the Smart 450. Since the bonnet cannot be opened (as the engine is positioned at the rear) we proceed differently. We identify the covers placed on the bonnet (the fake air intakes) and remove them. We then access the bulb compartment. We remove one unit first and then the second if necessary. So let's test its correct functioning and then proceed by reassembling everything and finishing our current work. As you have seen, it is a simple and fast job, of immediate execution.

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.
