I don`t know what part of the country you live, but do you have any pick n pull type wrecking yards? I would check there first before buying a new one.
There is a replacement piece for the stripped nipples from MB. I`ll have to check through my notes and find it, it`s some where in my pile scratch paper and stuff.

when you remove the oil lines the threads sometimes strip being aluminium with the steel line attached. I use some anti siez when I reinstall them.
use a back up wrentch on the oil cooler. a 7/8 inch.

FOUND IT. part number 915013 - 013002.
