Oil cooler?
How much of a pain is it to change the oil cooler. Mine had been leaking for almost a year now and is getting worse. on the plus side it is an excellent rust deterent, and man do the underside of these things rust.

I believe it's kinda tricky. I remember reading (i think it was upstairs) that its hard to take apart once its off the block.
Basically, the tricky part is that you need something to squeeze it back together because the new o-rings make it extremely tight. If your is leaking I would get to it fairly fast because if your orings are bad it can let oil in coolant or vise versa.

tn is right, its not that hard getting it off or apart, but it can be a PITA getting it back together. A large/long clamp is best for re-assembly.
