mmm... I got the same problem as you, but since I just removed them I used a pair of vicegrip.

I dont know if it can damage something internally though....

When I took them off the intake manifold I used a 14mm wrench..But on the engine it seems too big.

with the engine make a 2ft braker bar and get some wd40 and spray it and let it sit.. THen undo it. The next thing is geting the lines off the actual cooler and just do the dame thing and they should come off

What does the oil cooler have to do with the INTAKE MANIFOLD??

There's only 4 small nuts on the oil cooler frame which are 10mm I believe.

Then there's the oil feed and oil return lines. One's on the front cover which I used a crescent wrench. The other is under the car around the oil pan. I cant remember off of my head but i think its a 24mm.

oh ok. The oil onjectors might be a little trickier. I think they're bigger than a 14mm. Since the oil injectors are angled in a way you can't really use a socket wrench. I'd spray them down with WD40 or PV blaster, wipe, then use a crescent wrench on them. That should be plenty enough to get them out.
