How do you change the serpentine belt in the Mini R56?

Model: Mini Mini R56, R55, R57 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Checks and maintenance

Just like the timing belt, the service belt also plays a fundamental role in the car, as without it we would not be able to recharge the car's power supply battery, as well as not being able to use the air conditioning and the water pump, responsible for cooling the engine. The aforementioned belt must be installed by removing the right front wheel and the wheel arch, in order to have space to access the engine, then the old belt is removed and the new one is installed, passing it between the pulleys of the alternator, water pump and air conditioning system mentioned above.
