Removal!



I started by undoing the nut (green arrow). This was possibly a mistake - I should have started with the flex pipes at the oil cooler and let the coolant drain from there. Anyhow, the nut (green arrow) was badly rusted onto the engine coolant pipe fitting which started turning (red arrow) and the coolant pipe split, so I hacksawed it off (blue arrow).
