Does the engine need to come out to put new seals in the oil cooler? I thought I heard somewhere it can be done without removing the engine. If not, the engine in Joes red one will be coming out.

You can replace the oil cooler with the engine in the car. I know, I have done it. The seals are a breeze. Use a 10mm wrench to remove the 2 nuts that you can see when looking up at the cooler. Then take a 1/4 drive ratchet with a 10mm socket to remove the third Slide the cooler to the front of the car, and the seals will probably fall out. If they don't, then just knock them off with a screwdriver.
To reinstall, just put the seals on the end of a big flat blade screwdriver with some grease, and use some more grease to stick the seal to the cooler mount. After both seals are in place, slide the cooler back in place and reinstall the nuts. You can replace the front seal with the engine in the car too... |
