Yeah Those aluminium lines are probably corroded onto the steel cooler by now. They won't rust but two dissimiler metals will corroded together very nicely. Chances are the steel fittings will take the threads off the cooler. If you can get a good tourch on it and heat them up real hot you might be able to get them apart. I'd say their is a 50/50 shot of them coming apart.

MB now uses aluminium fittings on the lines at least.
