How to replace the starter motor on the Mini Cooper One

Model: Mini Mini R57, R55, R56 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Starter motor

In this video tutorial we will see the guide on how to disassemble and replace the Mini Cooper starter, following the instructions below. First we raise the car on the front side and start removing the small box located next to the air filter, unscrewing the screws of the clamps and unscrewing the screw with a 10 mm wrench; then we remove the filter box, thus accessing the starter motor, as illustrated in the video. Now we unscrew its fixing screws to remove it, also accessing it from below, by disconnecting its electrical connector; so let's install the new one!
