I've got my parts coming to repair the front cv axle on my 2015 F56 Mini Cooper S automatic. I searched for a video but could only find videos for earlier years.

Does anyone have a good diy video for me to follow along?

 

I don't have a link at hand, but you might try searching for Mini One service videos published on YouTube by Haynes.

The particular vids that seem helpful for my 2017 F56 Cooper S auto usually cover the 2014-2018 Mini One (which appears to correspond to the 2014-? base Cooper in the US). It's not a perfect match (the Cooper S has a literally bigger engine, so, for example, there are accessibility variations for things like belt replacement). But they're close enough that when you want a visual on a certain task, they can come in pretty handy.

 

 

Thank you so much. You rock!!

 

UPDATE: The driver side axle was STUCK!! Just in case anyone else has the same issue. We put a strap around the hub about 3 times. Pulled with the power of a person, literally created a loop, put it around my shoulders & pulled on it with all my might. At the same time, another person was under the car with a chisel & hammer. It took a minute, but it popped right out.

There was a video, but I forgot to save it. If I come across it again, I’ll post it. 🍑🍑

 

Why drain the fluid? They didn’t show any being replaced?

 

Was just wondering if u ran across that video if not I could use some suggestions on getting the left side axle out I’ve been banging and pulling and every other thing to try and get the left side axle out with out any progress so any suggestions would be a huge help!!!


Thanks,
