How do you replace a shock absorber on the Smart 451?

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

In case there is a need to replace a shock absorber, for example because it has burst or simply worn out, this video guide with verbal commentary can certainly be helpful. This case is focused on the rear shock absorbers, which, in order to be disassembled, require the removal of the wheel and then the compression of the spring, followed by the removal of the pins located at the two ends of the aforementioned shock absorber. Once this is done, all that remains is to remove it from its seat and install the new shock absorber, following the reverse procedure to the one described above.
