Hi guys!
I'd appreciate some help...I'm replacing the oil cooler seals, but can't seem to find the last 13mm nut. I have the three 10mm nuts off of the long studs, and one 13mm off of the bracket that supports the passenger side of the cooler, it is up top on the front side of the car. Where is the second 13mm nut? I see a "support bar" in the AA parts diagram, but where is it? The cooler is sliding about 3/4", but that's not enough, and I don't want to force it further if there is still a nut tryong to hold on...help! I have a '75, with super-well-located heat exchangers right in the way... thanks! Jerry |

Did you drop your engine or leave it in before working on this. When I replaced the seals, I did it with the engine in. As part of that work, I was unable to actually remove the oil cooler. It will move out far enough to replace the seals, but in my case, it did not come all the way off.
 As you can se from the diagram above, there are three bolts that attach the oil cooler to the engine. Hoewever, unless you also loosen the brackets (number 8 & 11) the oil cooler will not slide over. Eric Read |
