Dismantling the Side Mirror on Smart fortwo 451

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Side mirror

Dismantling the external rear-view mirror is very simple; start by fully opening the door to access the mirror's housing; unscrew the fixing screw of the triangular plastic cover around the mirror adjustment lever and press it upwards to detach and move it away enough to unclip it from the adjustment lever's pin; then unscrew the other four screws underneath to remove the mirror's support plate and finally, while supporting the mirror, unscrew the last fixing screw located in the centre.

Removing the Front Arm Bushing of a Hyundai Getz

Let's look at removing the front arm bushing of a Hyundai Getz. First, place the car on a column lift and loosen the wheel nuts with a telescopic spanner, then remove the wheel. Use a socket spanner to unscrew the lower securing bolt of the arm and the bolt mounted under the wheel hub, then unscrew the bolts on the upper part of the arm (as shown in the video). Remove the bushing from the bolt housing. Always compare the parts to be replaced with the new ones; if they are suitable, you can install them. Start the installation of the new part: fit the new bushing and tighten all bolts to the specified torque. Double-check the correct tightening of the parts. Refit the wheel to complete the job.
