jack up front and support on axle stands directly at the bottom of the rad,there are 2lines - gearbox and return feed,decide where your fitting oil cooler,do not fit it infront of the radiator seen many people fit them there and defeats the object of cooling :wack: remove hoses from the metal lines and either cut back and plug or remove the hoses completly fit new cooler where you decide to fit it.

 

run new hoses from cooler to metal lines which as said are situated under the rad running through the crossmember!conect and secure tightly with jubilee clips,make sure you run the correct line for feed and return!

fill oil cooler with new oil job done,check oil from the dipstick when hot and make sure its at its corect level
