once the oil filter is off the hollow bolt will easily undo to free the oil cooler ( 27 mm AF i think ) If you get around to tightening dont do the bolt up tight just enough to nip the cooler to the block

Thanks Chris. I'm starting to formulate a plan, its based around getting a smaller grinder. There's no way I can get my bosch grinder in that little space without damaging wires, pipes and everything in sight..
I'lll cover the whole face of the filter base with gaffa tape to try to keep the swarf out. Dunno if a dremmel might be powerfull enough :-S I need to go shopping and tool up while I'm out on holiday next week. |

Paul Clifton posted a diagram for me on the Deisel section. I had a flash of intelligence in the middle of the night, and had to go out and try it this morning.
Basically, I put molegrips on the threaded hollow bolt and rotated the hollow bolt out with the oil filter attached. I can't save the hollow bolt, and I even in the vice I still can't seperate it from the oil filter - but the oil cooler should be fine with a new gasket on. Just got to put it all back together now and refill with oil and coolant Thanks everyone. |

I priced up one for an 89 760 D24, £39, Mine was the 1990, That was £206!!! Eurocarparts, was slightly miffed that 'their' mistake, but then I realised it was my fault all along!
