there alright so those two are the ones you need to remove to disassemble this plastic right here for the wheels from the bumper and it should come right out that's going to be a different size so i think it's going to be the 25 a little bigger [Music] little bigger than that so if you don't have these tools you can also use a screwdriver that fits in okay remember this is plastic and also the inserts are plastic so they shouldn't be too tight to remove i'm just showing you the right tools to remove it but if it was if that was me if i wouldn't have those tools i would have used a screwdriver a flat one you know as long as it fits in there we're good i can remove it so there you go guys okay guys so there's one right there and one right here they're exactly in the same position exactly like the other side [Music] [Music] okay and it's already all disconnected this is somewhere ready to go all right let's see if it's true or not first time first time removing a bumper from a smart car it should come right out guys that's it there it is right there the whole assembly not that way you get access to your radiator maybe or i don't know something else probably the lights um anything that you want to remove that it's only this area for example the horn the horn is right there or this one here is also another horn i believe that's for the alarm and this is for uh you know when you're in the streets so that is how you get access to those two items all right let me show you guys the whole assembly [Music] all right so that is how you remove the bumper and the lower balance or if you want to separate it that's up to you to do it outside and this is how it's going to look after everything is removed 20 minutes to remove the bumper front bumper on a smart car 2016. okay now you can see what's behind it because you want to get access and you don't know where your items are at there's a couple items that you can see once you remove the bumper assembly [Music] [Music] all right youtubers so that is all for this video and i hope it's helpful for you because you want to remove your front bumper but now you know how now guys on the next video i am showing you the reason why i decided to remove the front bumper on this car the idea is kind of crazy but i hope i don't get in trouble with the law or anything like that but keep you guys posted and i'll see you on the next one all right haters
