Good morning,

I attached the procedure and pictures for you.

The bolt that holds the cooler to the motor is the threaded bolt that holds the oil filter to the housing. Inside the bolt is a allen head that you remove to remove the cooler.

The socket is a 14 mm allen head socket. You can get it at any parts store.

When replacing cooler does it make a difference on the 2 hoses to cooler hook up top or bottom?

Either way is good. The coolant just circulates through the cooler.
