E85 N52 oil filter housing

Hi all.

I am about to tackle this job. Watching videos it does not look too bad to do. However I cannot find a video of it done on a Z4. Most tutorials have you taking the oil cooler off first then accessing the difficult lower bolt. On the Z4 the engine is too far forward up against the radiator support to pull the oil cooler off first. Is there a trick to this? Is it a matter of pulling out the cooling fan and accessing it through there then removing the housing and cooler as one piece? It looks like it may be accessible if I remove the Mickey Mouse flange first. I’ll take any tips.

Thanks!
