Thanks to the OP for this DIY. I just did mine today and total about 3 hours plus cleaning time.
Couple of tips:
1. Coolant hose - Refer to
this video at the 5:15 mark, much easier place to remove the coolant hose and don't have to deal with extra bolts/o-rings. Of course, if you want to replace the plastic factory coolant flange then the locations from this DIY would be a good place. To minimize spoilage, I cut a plastic water bottle in half and placed in under the hose prior to removal. It caught quiet a bit of coolant.
2. The third/bottom bolt - This is the bolt closest to the radiator fan. Can be removed without fan removal and I was able to crack it loose with a 5/16 wrench that's only about 4 inches long. Just need to position your hand and body properly to get leverage.
3. Guys with oil cooler - break loose the 3 bolts holding the oil cooler to the housing
while oil filter housing is still on the car. Because once the whole unit if off, it becomes a bit more difficult to separate the cooler from the oil filter housing.
