Dan,

First of all, proper etiquette would be to NOT mention a parts supplier by name who doesn't support this forum. Fastlane supports this forum.

There is plenty of info about the oil cooler lines within the archives and you can use the search function to access the information.

This is not a bad job, just time consuming and messy. DON'T use the aftermarket lines, the factory hose material is superior. If you want to PM me I will let you know where to find the lines at a reasonable cost. When you compare the aftermarket lines with the factory lines (available at a discount) the factory lines are same or less money.

I made a "skinny" 21mm wrench to help with the big nuts next to the cooler and the housing. You'll also need a set of metric hex tools to unleash the left side motor mount.

I'd also suggest one of those plastic tubs used to mix concrete available from HD or Lowes. It helps catch the dirty oil that comes out of the lines after they are removed (that's the messy part).
