In this guide, we show you how to do it yourself on Aixam microcars such as City, Coupe, Crossline, Crossover, Minauto & GTO from 2010 onwards (S8, S9, S10 series). Here’s a step-by-step guide, but please note that we do not take responsibility for the replacement – check yourself which tools are needed and the correct torque specifications for your specific Aixam model.
