Replacing the oil cooler gasket

Oil cooler
regarding flipping the oil cooler without disconnecting the hoses , no need to drain the coolant right ?
thanks
thanks
I have in my notes that someone has reported that they got the job done without removing the hoses as follows:
"You can flip the cooler and replace the seals without removing the coolant hoses. Takes some careful maneuvering, I had it done in 20 minutes. Remember that there is a 10mm nut holding the cooler to the engine block that must be removed too."
So if someone else has done it hopefully we can too! I might try and remove that heat shield though...
Where did you order the new seals from? A dealership or ebay etc. I haven't gotten them yet.
BTW, torque on the small nut is 69 inch-lb (~6 ft.lbs).
