Has anybody here tried to replace your oil cooler seals with the engine installed in the vehicle (a la pelican article)? The article is a little vague and I think I loosened the wrong bolt and now I may have to drop the engine just to tighten it again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I loosened a 17mm bolt next to the oil filter and now it just spins. I think there is a nut behind it that I can't get to. Does anybody have a picture indicating the correct bolts (or nuts) to remove?

Hey - I wrote that tech article (many moons ago). Really, it isn't a tech article though. Just a list of tips for tackling the project and to verify that it can be done. I was asked to write a tech article a few months after doing the job on my own car - so some of the details were a little fuzzy - hence the lack of detail.
