Where is the Mini Cooper towbar located and how is it fitted?

Model: Mini Mini F55, F54, F57, F56 - Years 2014-2023
Part: Checks and maintenance

In the Mini Cooper, we can find the tow bar inside the luggage compartment, in the toolbox under the bottom panel. Once the hook has been recovered, let's move to the front of the car and, as we can see in the attached video, locate the small door on the bumper, on the passenger side. We unlock and open the door, insert the hook and screw it firmly to the thread. Once finished with the tow, unscrew it, close the flap and reposition the hook in its special slot. We carry out towing operations always following the safety procedures provided.

How to Replace the Rear Wheel Bearing on Peugeot 407

How to remove a rear wheel bearing along with all associated parts on a Peugeot 407? Position your car on a column lift, loosen the bolts with a socket wrench and raise it to a comfortable height. Unscrew the bolts and remove the wheel, then start unscrewing the bolts of the brake caliper to detach it from the bracket. Use a socket to loosen the caliper bolt. Now remove the caliper bracket and unscrew the bolts on the brake disc, pulling the disc towards you to slide it off the wheel hub. Completely remove the wheel hub from the car's arm and extract the worn bearing. Using a pressing tool, fit the new bearing. Before reassembling everything, clean all dirt and debris from the disassembled parts with brushes and lubricate the components. Refit the brake disc with all associated bolts.
