Well, the time has come for me to replace the infamous leaky oil cooler lines. I need to replace the set that goes from the remote oil filter to the engine mounted adapter. I started to remove the lines, but it was starting to get dark before I could figure out my problem. The problem is that I cant get to the bolt that attaches the lines to the engine mounted adapter (as seen in this picture).


Anyone have any tips and/or tricks?

 

i usually use a socket on a ratchet for that one

 

I would either try a socket and ratchet from what looks like the upper side for more room if there is any of a ratcheting wrench would probably work better for that tight of an area!!

 

cant get at it from the top use a 1/4 inch ratchet if the 3/8 is too big and most ratcheting wrenches heads are too big to fit between the cooler lines

 

have you guys done this before?

 

ive done it many many times

 

im just wondering how to get to that bolt...

 

2wd or 4wd?

 

nevermind its a 4wd pull the frfont skidplate cover off its right there

 

never mind. I found a better solution
