How to remove the timing belt / chain on Mini

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

Let's see in this video how to remove and replace the timing belt on Mini (chain). We lift the car on a column bridge (if necessary, we disassemble the front wheel with a screwdriver the right stone guard of the wheel). With a fixed wrench we go to loosen the belt tensioner roller and remove the belt from its seat. With a socket wrench we go to unscrew the tightening pin of the belt tensioner roller, remove the water pump as in the video. We assemble the new water pump, the belt tensioner and the belt itself, we tighten everything with the socket wrench. Finally we mount the rivets with attached stone guards and refit the rim with the rubber on the car.
