Not dropping the engine to do this due to lack of space and time.
I'm following Clay's instructions which seem spot on. I got as far as far as attempting to take the 10mm nuts off the long studs that hold the cooler to the block. Each of the studs want to unscrew. This is making things much more difficult. I assume that backing the studs out to get to the seals will make replacing the seals even harder.anyone have any tips, or should I bail on this before I do something that forces me to remove the engine? And What's the torque on these things? |

If you back the studs out, you can remove the whole cooler. Then take the nuts off the studs, put the studs back in the cooler and then screw the studs back into the case. You tighten the studs with a pair of needle nose vice grips. You have to push the cooler forward and work between the cooler and the case, so start with the top one.
This can be done. I did it in a hotel parking lot in Salt Lake city. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
