Oil Coolers

[Poorboy64]

For those that have changed the o rings in the oil coolers,
I have read differences in doing this. Looks that the easiest way is to leave the coolant lines connected and just remove the big banjo bolt R&R the seals with the oil cooler hanging from the coolant lines, Do not drain any coolant or oil, may loose a little oil when removed,
Does this seem about right?

Thanks,

A video I made when I changed mine. You'll loose quite a bit and I doubt you'll be able to get the orings off without pulling the cooler. It was baked on and had to be cut out once I got the cooler off.

Just drain it and don't worry about it.

I pulled the hoses off first and replaced them by taking out the alternator. Not too hard.

Used one of these to make the removal of the 24mm bolt easier:
