Oil cooler lines

[rush91]

I just got done dealing with the oil cooler lines. Jerry's Gaskets is a no-brainer......far superior to the original lines, and incredible service! Any questions or issues and they will help you get it s solved. Super easy to change out and has everything you need. The only issue I had was the little bit of oil that naturally spills out....just grab some shop towels and you will be fine.

Placed an order with Jerry today. It looks like there is a back order on the parts. Should be filled in a couple of weeks according to Jerry.

Thanks

Just went out to my car to review the oil cooler line removal. I have the 1 1/4 wrench to remove the hoses from the engine side. My question is how to remove the upper engine fitting? Not enough clearance to get a wrench around the nut part. I don’t want to strip it while trying to remove it. I know it will take some muscle to get these out. Maybe a thin wall socket and a long breaker bar?

Any info before I start would be helpful.

Thanks

Yep, that is logical. Funny, I used big open ends on removal and install. I wonder why you have clearance issues?

Hey Bill - Not sure if I will have an issue. Just from looking at it the clearance looks really close on the top hardware. I do have large open and wrench’s both 1 1/4 and 1 1/8. I have not started the job yet, waiting for parts from Jerry and they are couple of weeks out.

Thanks
