striped threads on oil cooler

In my experience these fittings are pretty robust. I just take a wrench and rip em open without using two wrenches since i can never find the right wrench. I think the problem stems from people being impatient and rushing the threads back on.

I have taken two oil cooler lines off, one took all the threads from the cooler, one didn't. My lines need changing, as they both weep, so I will do that job when I have the used replacement cooler right at hand.
