I recently removed all of my front cooler components, lines, cooler and thermo stat. I fiddled around trying to get the frozen fitting loose from both front and rear fender wells with no luck. since it was all coming out anyway I was found it easier to remove the entire system as a whole and then work on the fitting with it in the driveway. waaaay easier.
the reinstall was a chore, but well worth it. the easiest line to get to was the line from the oil tank to the thermostat & cross over pipes so it all came off from there forward. if you go this route DO not tighten anything upon reinstall until all the fittings have been thread started. this includes fittings and mounting for the forward running oil lines, cooler and thermo stat.
