Oil Line Removal
I'm needing to remove the oil lines in the LR fender, to and from the engine/oil tank to the front cooler. As I've read someplace here before, they seem to be "welded" in place. I've tried limited heat on the tank/thermostat line fitting at the T-stat (the one at the tank was no problem) with no luck. Next stop is a cheater bar on the wrench, but along with that, how much heat can safely be used?
FYI I need to remove that one so I can get to the one from the engine to the T-stat, which currently is an Aeroquip hose put there when the P/O swapped the SC exhaust system for the early model in search of more power. For my area I need the cat back on the car.
I'm sure a lot of people have dealt with this before swapping out T-stats and such; what's the secret if there is one?
