How do you replace the timing chain on the Mini Cooper S?

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

In order to replace the Mini Cooper S timing chain, you need to open the hood to access the engine compartment and remove the plastic cover from the top of the engine. Once the cover has been removed, the bolts that secure the engine head can be loosened and therefore also those that secure the side cover. In this way, it will be possible to have access to the sprockets, in particular it will be necessary to loosen the central pin of the chain tensioner. By doing so, it will be possible to reduce the tension of the chain and replace it with a new one, installing all the components previously removed.

Replacing Brake Pads on the Moto Guzzi V7

To replace the brake pads on the Moto Guzzi V7, first position the bike on a stable stand on a flat surface. Once done, start by removing the old brake pads from the front brake by simply removing the two springs that secure the pins of the pads (the pins, in turn, secure the brake pads in their housing within the brake block mounted on the wheel). Now, extract the pads from their housing and replace them with new ones. Reassemble everything by following the same steps in reverse. For replacing the brake pads on the rear wheel, once you locate the brake block, unscrew the two bolts using a suitable spanner to access the pads, which can be easily replaced. Reassemble everything and you're done!
