The only way those studs are coming out is with heat. Lots of it. Think: welder.
You could play a flame over the alloy, use a bit of 3in1 oil, left to soak overnight, double nut, dahdedah but if you want them out and they don't want to come out, hit them with a stick welder or TiG first.
If the thread strips on you or a stud snaps, weld a nut on. Once the stud is red hot, get a spanner on there and it will come out. Need to spanner it while it's still cherry red if its being awkward...
The oil cooler is water cooled. If you want to take it off just to clean it - don't. If there isn't anything wrong with it, roughly mask it off with paper and spray it silver or black if you have to but personally I wouldn't recommend taking it off just to clean it. Have you got a decent torque wrench?
Screwd.
