How do you replace the air conditioning compressor of the Smart 451?

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Air conditioning

In order to replace the air conditioning compressor of the Smart 451, you need to loosen the screws that fix the right rear wheel, completely removing it from its housing: after the wheel has been removed, it will be possible to loosen the screws that fix the compressor, which will now be accessible. In addition, by disconnecting the connectors and removing the V-belt from the corresponding pulley, it will be possible to insert a new replacement part; this must then be properly fixed and connected, ensuring that it functions correctly.
