Replacement and Maintenance of Accessory Kit

Model: Mini Mini R57, R55, R56 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Accessory kit

Start by removing the base of the gear lever by prying between the outer part and the inner ring. Now, use some force to completely pull off the body of the knob and the leather covering the lever. Next, unscrew the screws present in the three accessory ports to remove them. Also, pry along the slit of the gear lever to remove the leather cover of the handbrake. Now, you can pull off the entire accessory holder from front to back. Be careful to disconnect the connectors, and for reassembly, follow the steps in reverse order.
