The 300SD's oil cooler lines are extremly shot. I have to do something about them before they blow. They look like a pita, the engine mount has to come out it seems. If I do remove them I'm going to have a local place crimp on new lines.

But here is an idea, what kind of oil pressure do these things run at? 50psi? Why couldn't I just cut the hoses off in place. Then get some hydrolic hose and double clamp it to the metal fittings? Heck I could even flair the fitting a bit.

This car isn't worth much to me and I really don't want to have to get under it and go through all that trouble if there is a short cut.

Two high quality hose clamps could handle 50psi.
