I found and bought an oil cooler on ebay for WAY less than what the one on fastlane is, and its OEM, brand-spanking-new

Also, I have decided I am not going to mess with the motor mounts, the dealer has a "Set price" of $250 labor for doing those, and I already have the mounts, so I'll just let them do it....I am however going to finish the oil cooler/lines myself, I kinda have no choice

However, I still need pointers at getting the lines off the filter housing, anyone with tips on this??? I read on a thread that cutting the lines off at the bolts, then using a 27mm socket to remove them and the filter housing fittings, does this work well? Thats the last step of what I have to get off.
