Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Rear bumper
Operation: Disassembly of the rear bumper of the Smart Fortwo

Let's see below the step-by-step instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the rear bumper of the Smart Fortwo. First, we open the rear hatch and start unscrewing the fixing screws that we find on both sides of the rear fenders; we also find screws under the rear bumper and between the hatch and the bumper itself, as shown in the video. At this point, we start detaching the bumper on the sides until we remove it completely; then, we replace and install the new rear bumper, applying the reverse process of disassembly!

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.
