Removing the alternator and core support on a R50 Mini Cooper: Just Cruz'n

Quick how-to video on how to remove the alternator from a 2002-2006 MINI R50 and how to remove the bumper and core support. This procedure is similar but not exact on R53 and R52 models.
Check out our complete MINI Cooper engine removal video:

Omg You have remove the whole front end just to replace an alternator? Great design

[@mattkott6740]

if you don't want to pull the front and drain coolant, you can also replace alternator by removing the intake manifold. Either way you choose, there is a lot to take apart to get to the alternator.

THE INSTRUCTION ONLY remove intake manifold & belt & then alternator why u remove too many front end parts ???
