What a pain in the balls. I miss laying on the ground, numb arms, rust in the eyes, wind blowing dripping oil in my face, and temps in the low 30's. This pic sharing thing keeps me motivated and makes me think somebody is under there with me suffering, lol...

Another note to self, this is the most worst part of the job, removing nuts on oil tubes, no room, and need big wrenches. 1/8 turn, flip wrench, 1/8 turn, etc. Fuking brutal, and trying to do it without damaging something in the process, like nicking threads, the tubes, or knuckles.
Need 3/4" wrench for holding fitting, 7/8" wrench for loosening tube nuts.

You need to hold that brass fitting with the 3/4" to keep it from spinning when you break the nut on the oil line. Also, the bottom nut is impossible to remove. You need to take the upper/outboard nut off first and slide it out of the way, and then tackle the lower/inboard nut, being very careful not to damage the threads on the brass fitting right next to it, this sucks.

You need a 1/4" Hex drive to fit the socket head bolts. They came out fairly easy, almost felt like they were loose. I suggest anybody who has this setup on thier square box to snug these bolts whenever you have to change the oil filter. I know I will be from here on out.

The cooler block came right off the engine block, no problem, but the oil lines are frozen to the cooler block pretty good. Had to grab some spray to soak it and I will use a rubber mallet to smack the housing away from the lines and hopefully it will pop loose.
