The :id means you need to pass an "id" to the route helper method.

So you need to "find" the part first:
part = double('part')
Part.should_receive(:find).with(1).and_return(part)
Part.should_receive(:update).with('title' => 'Brake pads').and_return(part)
put :update, :id => 1, :part => {'title' => 'Brake pads'}

You need to pass in the :id for Rails to recognize the route.
