Oil line tips...stumped,
 

My oil cooler lines in both sections are leaking at the crimps on both sets and also at the remote filter block. I am hoping to be able to get the oem crimps off the rubber lines with dikes (side cutters) being I don't have a compressor yet or a dremel...(just starting tool collection)...will this work? now as far as gaskets for the block and filter block should I use the dorman # 66201? To fix the leaks at both the oil filter housing and the lines from engine block parts? Also a few other questions....I'm going to go to napa to get hose part# ATP14864. Is this the right part # to get? Also I'm assuming it's going to take 8 hose clamps right? 4 for lines from engine block to filter...4 for filter to cooler? I'm sure it's also easier with the oil drained am I right? And can i use acetone instead of brake cleaner to clean the aluminum parts of the lines when I get the rubber and crimp collar off for a better connection to use worm gear clamps?
I just want to get my ducks in a line before I go ahead and do this...I'm hoping to get it done on a day off...but today I went out and checked the leaks out and was suprised how bad they were. Can someone give me a hand here on these questions please???
can i use a small drill bit and carefully drill through part of the collar in like 1/8" increments and just pry the things off?? I DO have a drill!!! lol just not sure if the aluminum can be cut with dikes or not...

Several builds have adressed the issue:

If disassembling the original lines. Not sure though about the 2nd gen but the 1st gen were dirt cheap. The crimped stuff around the hose is aluminum. I just cut them open with a saw or dremel, then pry back and pull the hose. Not much of an effort. Protect the line and use a plastic or rubber in the vise not to crunch them.

The lines are notorious for leaking afer a couple of years. Fixed mine some 10 years ago - no drop lost since. ;)
