Help quick, please

Changing my oil 2day, and i want to change out the O-ring in the oil cooler housing. Audi said it'd be easy, but now that the filter is off, i don't see how the cooler comes apart. Pleas help w/ instructions or diagrams, i have an hour till i have to leave for work.

You're changing the oil cooler?

Or are you just doing an oil change?

Your 1 hour is almost up...

After you remove the filter, isn't just one nut holding the oil cooler to the pan?

That's what I'm thinking. I didn't see any other bolts in the 12V diagram.
