Subject:      coolant bath
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1


I just took a nice coolant bath under my 1990 Westy :)  Trying to replace
the gasket between the oil cooler and engine block (had an oil leak there).
I couldn't get the cooler off with the hoses attached so I tried undoing one
hose while quickly pulling the cooler off.  The plan was to put the hose
back on while it was hanging there.  Good plan, huh?  I thought so too ;-).
Cooler got stuck halfway while my t-shirt turned a nice wet, blue/green
color.  What now?  Anyone have luck getting this cooler off without
detaching the hoses?  And now it looks like I'll have to bleed and refill my
cooling system (haven't done this since I owned the van, so it's time).  I
hear that's not much fun.  Thanks for any insights!
