Remove ignition motor on Mini Cooper

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

How to remove the starter motor? Let's see how the starter motor is removed on Mini Cooper. We disconnect the power supply terminals before disassembling the operating parts. The motor is located under the engine compartment (access from below or from the right side of the wheel). We unscrew the locking pins of the starter motor with a socket wrench and remove it from the engine compartment. We replace the ignition motor with a piece equal to the one disassembled. We connect the clamps to the battery and start the engine (check all electrical systems of operation of the battery).
