OK, I got the classic oil/water cooler leak. I know I must remove the banjo fitting to get this off, but the water line sticks right in front of this banjo deal, can't get a wrench on it. What size wrench do I need? Can this all be done without going under the car (no ramps yet). I'd love to get a step by step from you folks that have actually done this & replaced the 4 'O' rings. I need to know how to access the fittings, wrench sizes needed, etc. The haynes manual is not much help. Local Mazda dealer has one guy that is expert on the old rotarys, he'll do it for $180.00!!! He says thats a deal, 'cause its a PITA.



Thanks!
