How do you replace the timing chain of the Mini One?

Model: Mini Mini R52, R50, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Timing belt

In order to replace the timing chain of the Mini, it is necessary to lift the car so that it is possible to loosen the screws that secure the front right wheel of the device: once the screws have been removed along with the wheel, it will be possible to find the corresponding wheel arch, which must be removed from its housing to locate the chain underneath. The chain can now be removed by loosening the tensioner and sliding it off the corresponding gears; once the new chain is inserted, it can be tensioned again to ensure that everything is functioning properly.
