I’ve done my cooler and the Orings today.
I reckon all in it took me about 41/2 hours. There are a few extra steps to the 405 which aren’t needed on the 322. But the basic stuff in this thread is very useful and is a good guide to follow.
So for the 405:
First off remove the windscreen wipers……

15mm socket, mine came off easy but I’ve had a new screen in the last few years.
Next remove the left and right rear plastic covers over the brake reservoir and fuse box.

Now remove the scuttle, just the plastic screw out clips holding it on then its just clipped into the groove below the windscreen.

Next job was to take off the strut braces 4 bolts each. 55NM when you do them back up….

It’s then a matter of dismantling the secondary bulkhead centre section. It’s in the WM but basically there are a few bolts on the section by the fuse box, a medium section under that held on by a three bolts. Then the main bit can be now be removed, 5 bolts IIRC…

The rest is as per the start of this thread, but you don’t have the brittle coolant parts on the 405 to deal with. 
I used my oil sucker to remove some extra coolant via the coolant fitting on the side of the cooler to minimise risk of contamination when I took it off, think I took a couple of litres out. I then changed the oil for good measure too. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

those either. I left the plate in place and there are 3 or 4 bolts underneath it holding the intake - I removed those instead.
