8x 2 ear zp 17/20 crimps.
Removed the oils from the blazer &took pic of lines before I cut the old aluminium crimps of making sure I didn't cut the aluminium pipe.
Removed one pipe at a time, cut new pipe to length &put 4x 2 ear crimps on before connecting back to the aluminium lines. Made up a crimping tool out of a pair of vice-grips [vice-grips you can set a tension on them].
Crimped the first line on before removing the next line & then repeated process leaving one end of the hose uncrimped at the radiator end till I got the lines back into truck.
I had to find some seals for the aluminium blocks, went to local chev shop [Kiwiblazers neck of the woods] & they didn't know what they where as they sold it as a kit, had a look at what they had out the back & walked out with 4x sump plug seals [these where the same as what I took out].
Put new seals on & torque blocks up & crimped last line in place.
Home made crimping tool.

Lines 2x months later.

oil sump plug seals [old ones I took out]
Could you repost your pictures, as I am going to be doing this soon, and would like to use for reference. Thanks.

Part #'s please! I work at NAPA so I could get em for dirt cheap :P Our discount is ridiculous! We pay 10% over what NAPA pays for stuff.

Put them back in the same way they came out, thats the beauty of digital cameras to take pics of things before you pull them apart.
