Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Bearing
Operation: How do you replace the rear wheel bearing on the Smart 450?

To be able to replace the rear wheel bearing of your Smart 450 you have to go and lift the car with a jack or a bridge, so that the corresponding wheel is not in contact with the floor. After it has been lifted, it will be necessary to unscrew the bolts that fix it, so that it can be removed giving access to its rear parts. You will have to unscrew the screws that fix the brake caliper and also those that fix the hub, which can then be removed with a few outward blows of the hammer. This will allow you to remove the bearing in its center and replace it with a new one.

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.
