How the Hell do I remove the oil cooler???

27mm injector socket works perfectly on the nut.... it's on the tube the oil filter screws into.

Once you remove the nut (on the same threaded pipe the filter screws onto) it should be easy to remove by hand from the aluminum flange bolted to the block. Maybe the rubber gasket is stuck between the 2 ?

Man, that's not fun. Drill, heat, easy-out (Quality one, not from China)
