three 10 mm nuts. Best bet is from underneath, but it's really a PITA with the engine still in.

You'll need tiny hands, and I wish you the best of luck...

You're going to need it :D

I gave up, got rid of the GS and got a GSL-SE!:D

Seriously, MIKE-P says he can do it in 10 minutes (I believe him, he's a helluva mechanic) you might PM him for tips, or take a drive to Kentucky.

if your trying to remove the whole assembly then theres a 12mm bolt next to the clutch slave cyl that goes into the engine, and 2 10mm nuts you can get at from under the car that hold the cooler to the little flat plateau thing on the engine. Oh and a 23mm banjo bolt holding the line to the cooler will have to come off too, as well as the coolant hoses.
