Hi all, Are there any top tips/gotchas when it comes to removing an oil cooler? I've managed to break the oil feed pipes when trying to remove a sick one from my van... and then managed a repeat performance on a spare motor that was supposed to be providing a replacement cooler. Not too much brute force, just plenty of ignorance...  I do have another one I'd like to use, especially having seen the price of a new one!  Thanks all Steve |

flood the pipe area with diesel or parrafin for a day or so then rather thn try to un do the nut in one go just crack it and wiggle it back and forth by a tiny amount keep increasing how far you move it as it frees off you might get lucky! and lots of copper grease on re assembly Sean |
