ENGINE REMOVAL ANYONE? STEP BY STEP OR PICS.
Anyone did this or have any urls ,my engine doesnt turn around its stuck somewhere when the piston goes upwards.
Need to be inspected inside but not opening it from the luggage small space.
So any home mechanic or pro that had done this give me some little hope for the future.
Smart is OK engine sucks.

Make sure first that it's not hydrostatic lock. This can happen when the fuel injection goes haywire and fills a chamber with gasoline, which is not compressable.
This is a wonderful engine.

Thanks for reply..
Due to stuck brakes not using the smart for 6 months my brother decided to take a ride with it but was too lazy to hit the brake drums with plastic hammer for releasing rust.He just made the quick and dirty solution,trying to drive back and forth to release the stucked brakes ending up with engine didnt turn around properly.
Got a tip that maybe a valve got warm and twisted thats why i doesnt make the engine circle when trying to start it.
But on the other hand I am not a mechanic and let the smart into a mechanic only gets up to 1000$ for dismantel the engine from the car.....crazy stuff well I wanted a miniatur Mercedes and got a beast in repair costs.
So whats your opinion exhaust valves or chamber???? when turning the engine manually with hand all the other pistons (2 of 3) feels ok turning around but stucks on the 3 wich one i dont know yet.
