How to replace the front suspension struts, springs, top mounts and hub carrier MINI COOPER R50/R53

In this video I show you how I changed my front suspension struts/ springs and top mounts. I only filmed one side as it was more in depth as I was replacing the hub carrier due to a broken bolt and wanted to show this on film as it&a very common problem when people try to remove this bolt. The best way I&found to remove these bolts especially when they are seized is to either heat up the metal surrounding the bold to expand the metal or to unscrew and re screw it in and out repeatedly until it finally winds out without stress. Sadly my bolt was already broken hence why I had to renew the hub carrier. I will however reuse the old hub carrier as I will drill the remains of the broken bolt out and convert it to a nut and bolt set up as per later models but for speed the easiest and quickest option was to replace the whole assembly.
