Disassembly of the Mini 1.6 alternator

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

Do we want to remove the alternator of the Mini? Let's see how the alternator is removed from inside the engine compartment. We lift the bonnet and put it in safety, we identify the battery of the power supply and disconnect the terminals. We remove the engine cover and if necessary the front bumper. Unscrew the pins with a socket wrench, being careful not to damage the cable winding membranes, unscrew all the alternator tightening pins. We remove the alternator from inside the engine compartment. We fasten the new piece, screw in the clamping pins, then, we connect the service belt. We assemble all the cover pieces.
