OK,
my manual doesnt say anything about how to remove the oil cooler on my deisel. I need to take it off because it's leaking oil everywhere and instead of getting a new one I'm going to replace the seals in this one. I've got it all disconnected but it cant come out without dismantling the exhaust manifold as well. Is there some trick to getting these things off?

Hi, i have replaced those oil cooler seals myself. You must remove the exhaust manifold.
