Omega General Help / changing v6 oil cooler pipes
« on: 30 January 2007, 21:58:55 »
Hi all,
Got a 3.0 v6 ex old bill estate and been trying to do the oil cooler change job. Due to problems undoing the nuts on the pipes by the oil filter started to cut the pipes so i could get a socket over the nuts to get them off. Then managed to free them off with a combination of three types off spanners so i could get the angles required. I'm not sure how close i am to cutting through the pipes so don't want to chance them. Is it possible to change them with the engine in the car and if so are there any tricks changing them. Any help would be gratefully recieved.
Brilliant forum with lots of very helpfull advice.
