You have to pull the muffler, then the rear tin, then the fan, then the fan housing, then the oil cooler (and related tin) to get to that nut.

Make sure you use new gaskets on all upon reassemble, unless you just REALLY love working on your van rather than driving it.

My Agenda: Vanquish Suburban Sprawl. My Methods: Revitalize mature urban towns. Champion mass transit and fast Internet service. Demand replacement of archaic, "separationist" zoning laws with neo-traditional mixed-use zoning. The Result: Exceptional living/working alternatives; restrained sprawl; our children inherit walkable, beautiful, interlinked towns. Find out more at http://www.cnu.org

<< File: ATT00004.htm >> I'm actually having a pretty good time doing some shade tree mechanic stuff on my new westy. I stopped a couple of my oil leaks but there is one I'm having trouble getting to.

I'm getting a leak from the gasket where the oil filter mounts onto the case. It would be an easy fix except the top bolt is pretty much hidden by the oil cooler, plus I can't figure out how to pull the oil cooler without pulling the fan housing.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Chris Gronski Toronto, Ontario '80 Westy "Pokey"

P.S. Thanks for everyone's reply to my 22.5 Gallon Gas tank query, I'll post a reply when I figure out what I'm going to do.
