How to remove the external handle of a Mini

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

Before we can begin, we will have to go and open the door of our Mini. Let's start by removing the cap on the side of the door, using a thin but strong tool and prying. By doing so, we will have reached the bolt that secures the handle. We then proceed by unscrewing and removing this bolt. Once we have removed this bolt, we will have freed the handle. At this point, we can go to disengage and remove the handle from the door. When we have completed this step, we will have successfully completed the disassembly of the handle.
