How to change the handle barrel of a Mini

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

How to disassemble the cylinder of the external handle? Let's see the disassembly of the cover panel of the Mini to get to the back of the handle. We remove the inner armrest placed above the inner handle (door panel), with a screwdriver we go to unscrew all the fastening screws above the door panel. We pry a plastic lever around the door opening handle frame, then remove the reflector cap on the door panel. We detach the cover panel and arrive at the back of the handle. We disassemble the handle in all its parts and remove the lock cylinder.
