2012 Mini Cooper S alternator belt failure

When we do it at home, how are we going to charge the AC back? 🥵🥵

Something’s we gotta pay for!!

You can do it without purging the AC. It’s more labor intensive, it involves putting the front end in service position, but it’s worth saving all if that money. Also, that clutch pulley can be replaced independently from the alternator. There are some videos on KZbin covering removal of the alternator without draining the AC.
