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?

Besides your problem with that bolt, I know that the seals can be replaced in the car, because I have done it once. Back before we had the internet, I called George at AutoAtlanta and he walked me through the procedure.
They have a tech article on their website now that explains it. http://autoatlanta.com/tech/oil_seal.html Good luck with that bolt. Jake Rabby might be able to answer your question on the bolt, if you point it out to him. |
