Ok, this should be easy. I have the engine sitting on a dolly, and I'm trying to figure out where I access the oil cooler seals so I can replace them while the engine's out. I know they are on the vertical side of the cooler, and probably on the inside (not outside) side of the cooler, right? Getting access under the engine is a little difficult since it's on the dolly and I currently don't have a good view up directly underneath. What do I need to remove in order to get access to those seals? Should I attack it from the top or from underneath? I started to remove the oil filter housing but the top nut is pretty well hidden too...

One or 2 pieces of engine tin and the right size wrench does it. I did it so you know its not too hard. Take your time and you'll be good. Cooler isn't completely removed, just pulled out a bit to replace the seals. I don't know how the guys do it with the engine in the car.
