Ahh the joy of owning a southern car! To get mine apart I had to pull the entire thing out of the car lines and all. Then I spent a few hours heating the fittings up with a butane tourch and hitting the wrench that was on them with a hammer. The heat and shock worked well the steel ends took the aluminum threads with them. New oil cooler and line time! $650

Just a warning to those of us with northern cars if the lines don't come right apart leave them alone!
