Hi guys, I got a 03 S, and the intercooler clamps rubbed a hole in the fuel feed line so i ordered a new one from MINI. thought it was gonna be pretty straight up quick disconnect on both ends and some clips but when i got to the bracket at the rear of the subframe and i figured i would be able to easily loosen it and get it down enough to slip the line out i was in for a surprise. Do i have to unbolt the engine mounts and stuff and lower the entire sub frame to get this to move a little? am i pretty screwed or what lol i just had to lower the whole subframe on a g6 to put cats on and it was not fun.

 

Lets see if the Problems/Issues crowd has any answers.

 

Unbolts the front and let those back feet tip down, make sure the lower engine mount is unbolted and then you should be able to slip it in.
