How do you disassemble the cooling fan in the Mini Cooper?

Model: Mini Mini R55, R57, R56 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Radiator

The engine cooling fan, both in the Mini Cooper and in any other car model, plays a fundamental role, as it cools the temperature of the engine itself, along with the radiator fluid. When it is removed, it almost always means that it needs to be replaced because it is burnt out, or the bearing is stuck and also needs to be replaced. Let's see how to proceed: After opening the hood, first remove the intake manifold of the air filter and then, quite simply, reach the locking pins of the fan and remove them, finally disconnecting the electrical connectors.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
