Take it to the extreme bottom but not off, then use a pair of Vice-Grips to hold the nut fast to the inner pipe, and remove the Pipe. You place one jaw inside the pipe, and the other jaw on the nuts side.
The two halves will separate and you can pull the old out and the new in then retighten the pipe to the flange through the cooler, then be sure that the o-ring centers and tighten (This is where the o-rings with the little ears that hold it in place come in handy.).
Be wary of the "T" hose as if it is old it can go bad….with the movement.

A garage want £100 to do the job. At the moment they only time I have used a garage on this is to set up the k-jet, I prefers to get my own hands dirty

Its a large nut holding the cooler on, something like 30mm or 32mm I think but it was a few years ago when I changed my O ring….

There are no "Allen Bolts to remove".wilko13 said
Allen key bolts as they must get a lot of heat. As long as they don’t snap.

Spin off the filter, then a 27 or 28mm Deepwell socket
Pair of Vice-Grips.

A small tap of the tool with a hammer and they should come out fine
