Oil Cooler O-ring replacement

Hey everyone. I am new here. I did some research and determined I need to replace my oil cooler o-rings. Doesn't sound too hard, just wanted to get a little guidance because one thing I read made it sound fairly simply, and another made it sound like a pain in the butt. So just wanted to make sure I am not getting in over my head before I start tearing it apart! Thanks again! and I tried finding a thread on the replacement process and had a hard time finding anything. Thanks again!

Looks fairly straight forward. I can get to it through the wheel well?
Do you need to drain any oil? Thanks
