Paul, here's how you can remove that oil cooler assembly.  it's a
complex
little do-dad that uses a couple o-rings as seals, and they are probably
shot.

1. remove the two small water hoses from the oil cooler assembly.
facing
the engine, one hose runs left to the water pump, the other runs
vertically
to the water return pipe just behind the turbo.  get new parts from
Toyota -
don't go back with these same hoses.  no sense in putting old hoses in
when
you can easily replace them.

2. unbolt the 12 mm hex bolt that secures the oil cooler assembly to the
aluminum mounting boss.  this bolt also secures the small u-shaped pipe
that
attaches to the second hose mentioned above.

3  Remove the oil filter and set aside.

4. looking at the oil cooler assembly on the engine, you will see a
large
hex nut under the threads which screw into the oil filter.  with me?

5. find a socket which fits this hex, and loosen it CCW.  as you loosen
this
bolt, the seal between it and the aluminum mounting boss will likely
give
way and cause a rush of oil down the side of the block to the oil pan.
once
this bolt is completely unscrewed (it may not easily come out of the oil
cooler assembly) the oil cooler assembly should come off in your hands.

6. next, remove the four 10mm hex bolts which secure the aluminum oil
cooler
mounting boss to the engine block.  once these bolts are out, gently pry
straight outward away from the block, and this mounting boss should pop
out
of the block.  It seals to the block with a couple o-rings.

If memory serves me correctly, that's all that should be needed since
you
already have the turbo out of the way.   While the little CT26 is out of
the
way, why don't your throw-in a Turbonetics T04E-50?  The real thing.....

let me know if you need anything else with the oil cooler.
