Remove Oil Cooler

1. Remove the two oil cooler mounting screws. Do

not lose any washers (if used). See Figure 8-19.

Figure 8-21. Removing Oil Filter Housing From
Adapter.

Perform the following only if the oil filter housing
assembly requires individual servicing.

a. Remove the nipple from the cup and oil filter

housing. See Figure 8-22.

Figure 8-22. Removing Nipple.

b. Remove the oil filter cup and spring from

housing. See Figure 8-23.
