00:03:31.570 00:03:31.580 next using one of the three 12
00:03:33.949 00:03:33.959 millimeter bolts that hold the lower

00:03:37.490 00:03:37.500 install it into the lower bracket once
00:03:39.949 00:03:39.959 you have that done you can go ahead and
00:03:41.600 00:03:41.610 tighten down all of the 10 millimeter
00:03:43.160 00:03:43.170 hardware holding your core to the front
00:03:45.380 00:03:45.390 of the car this is just to ensure that
00:03:47.780 00:03:47.790 when you tighten it all down it's all
00:03:49.370 00:03:49.380 going to line up once you have all the
00:03:51.259 00:03:51.269 10 millimeter hardware tightened up go
00:03:53.690 00:03:53.700 ahead and remove that 12 millimeter bolt
00:03:55.460 00:03:55.470 from the bottom this way it doesn't
00:03:56.990 00:03:57.000 cause any problems when you go to
00:03:58.070 00:03:58.080 install the splasher
00:03:59.619 00:03:59.629 next install the shorter line with the

00:04:14.800 00:04:14.810 loosely installed onto the oil cooler
00:04:16.270 00:04:16.280 we're going to go ahead and route the

00:04:36.279 00:04:36.289 have an oil pan ready because some oil
00:04:38.680 00:04:38.690 will still be left in the filter also
00:04:41.050 00:04:41.060 might not be a bad idea to wear goggles
00:04:42.640 00:04:42.650 just in case of splash once you remove
00:04:48.100 00:04:48.110 the oil filter if you got any oil on the

00:04:57.850 00:04:57.860 burning smell when you start your car up
