if you have a cd burner i can loan you a dvd of all mini manuals plus service and sales masters and a mechanics course... being local (sorta)If you want to burn yourself a copy i will trust you to take the disc, provided you can come to the cold toast to pick it up...
prolly give you a few pointers too while your here..
my new burner doesnt like my computer LOL...I HATE BILL GATES

I really cant figure out where the last 4 bolts are for the front subframe.

subframes are simple, just disconnect everything attached, like the spension stuff, and then dont forget to disconnect the steering ... like i did

then find all the bolts....but i dunno what to do with the hydro? you would have to release the pressure to disconnect the lines im guessing? :?:

i've heard that if you are removing the subframes you should depressurize the hydro before you even jack the mini up...but...how to actually go about this...i havent the foggiest
