gine oil and engine coolant may be hot.
NOTE:
When removing oil cooler only, step 2 is unnecessary.
1. Remove front engine undercover with power tool.
2. Drain engine coolant from radiator and cylinder block. Refer to CO-10, "
Changing Engine Coolant" and
EM-123, "
Disassembly and Assembly".
NOTE:
Perform this step when removing water pipes.
3. Disconnect water hoses from oil cooler.  When removing oil cooler only, pinching water hoses near oil cooler to prevent engine coolant from spill-
ing out.
 Remaining engine coolant in piping will come out. Use a tray to collect it.
CAUTION:
 Perform this step when the engine is cold.
 Do not spill engine coolant on drive belts.
4. Using oil filter wrench [SST: KV10115801 (J38956)], remove oil filter. Refer to LU-8, "
Removal and Instal-
lation".
CAUTION:
Do not spill engine oil on drive belts.
5. Remove connector bolt, and remove oil cooler. CAUTION:
