How to replace the timing belt of the Mini Cooper.

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

The replacement of the timing belt of the Mini Cooper model r56 is a somewhat complex operation to perform independently. We begin the replacement of the belt by opening the front hood and removing the right front wheel and its fender, then we lift the car. We continue by loosening the central nut of the tensioner pulley and then removing it, in order to reduce the tension on the belt and be able to remove it. We then proceed to remove it and insert a new one. We put everything back in tension and reassemble the fender and wheel, then we lower the vehicle.
