Source: smartcarofamerica.com Topic: timing chain removal procedure Models discussed: 451 Solution status: unclear

Problem: User asking about proper sequence for timing chain removal on a 451 Smart Car - specifically whether to start with chain tensioner or sprocket gear/camshaft after removing the cover.

Solution: The chain tensioner should always be removed first regardless of make/model/year. One reply indicated they had additional documentation available but the content was not fully provided in the thread excerpt.

Key facts: - Timing chain tensioner must be removed first before other components - This procedure applies universally across different vehicle makes and models - User was seeking proper removal sequence after successfully removing timing cover
