Well, I'm thinking you want to take of both hoses, wich makes it just a wee bit more difficult but really doable.
The oil cooler is held in place by a metal bracket which has torx screws running all along the bottom edge of it( lay under the car), (about 6 of them I think, 2 on each side, and 2 in the front). The 2 front torx screws can be a little tricky because of the spoiler. I removed the driver side front bumper panel extension to access the 2 torx screws on the one side. On the right side of the housing, you will also notice ( in addition to the 2 torx screws)a large bolt, this needs to be removed as well.
You should be able to loosen the oil cooler hoses fairly easy from the oil cooler, a little more fun at the oil filter end... I recomend removing the intercooler as it takes 2 minutes to remove and will make your job a lot easier in removing/replacing the oil cooler hoses. If you have the regular air filter box, remove that as well.
Keep in mind how the hoses were placed and try copy the same layout when replacing them. when reattaching the oil cooler, attach the hoses to it first,then puch it into place, then place the screws in place.
Took me about 2hours to remove and reinstall.
Boris
