It is a difficult and messy job if you dont have a ramp and the suitable tools . We still meet difficult ones after many many years of doing them , if the MINI is an import the chance is the bolts holding the bracket to the subframe will be seized and difficult , We always replace bush and bracket rather than just the bush itself having broken 3 different tools in the early days . if you really want to do them yourself then drop the subframe a few inches ( we dont remove the subframe ) and make sure you get the correct spanner on the bolts holding the bracket to the subframe as if not a decent fit it WILL 'round' the bolt head and make removal very difficult . if you want an idea of cost We have a fixed price of Euro E 150 for 1 side or E 250 for 2 sides including OE spec German bushes / brackets .
