... but I didn't find what I was looking for.
How does one remove the round fitting with the right angle nipple at the back of the head on a 1.8 which feeds the oil cooler? Is it press-fit?
Stolen pic for reference:
I think I want to remove that and tap the hole for 1/2 NPTF to go to a -10AN.

Just for posterity, I'll update this thread to say that it was a huge pain in the *** removing the head nipple boss, involving pipe wrenches, hack saws, drills, and all many other implements of destruction. "Press fit" is an understatement.
