Repair Information

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2008 MINI Cooper, 2007 MINI Cooper, 2006 MINI Cooper, 2005 MINI Cooper, and 2004 MINI Cooper. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Two different types of lubrication are used for the drive shaft joints. The outer joint uses a graphite-based grease and the inner joint uses high temperature melting point grease. Drive shaft boots (inner and outer) are available to replace separately in the event of a split or damaged boot. The appropriate type of grease is supplied with the boot kit. A BMW Special Tool is available to aid the removal of the left drive shaft inner joint from the differential on the MINI Cooper with ECVT and the MINI Cooper S.
