Replacement of the starter motor of the Smart Fortwo 700.

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Starter motor

Today we will see the guide that will allow us to disassemble and replace the starter motor of the Smart Fortwo. First of all, we open the rear hatch and start disassembling and removing the bumper; then we remove the right front wheel and remove the belt cover. At this point, we disconnect the intercooler sleeve, removing the small radiator; then we unscrew the fixing screws of the starter motor, disconnect the electrical connector to remove it and replace it with the new one. All that's left is to reassemble everything, applying the reverse process of disassembly!

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.
