Quick oil cooler fix

That is not a easy job any way you look at it. I pulled mine off just to replace the gaskets that go from it to the engine and that had to be the most messy job I have ever done, and I even drained the block. Oil and coolant dripping all over the place.
If you want to take it out completely, you have to take the engine loose and jack it up to get the whole thing out, which of course is what you have to do to replace the o-rings. There is a little procedure to replace the o-rings also, I don't know if you can find it on the net using google.
