QuestionQUESTION: My question is how do you get the old rear oil cooler line out? it is in a tight space in between the engine and the transfer case. how do i get the old line out so i can put the new line in the same way?
ANSWER: HI TYLER, THIS IS A TIGHT FIT. THE BEST WAY I FOUND TO DO THEM IS REMOVE ONE OR BOTH OF THE ENGINE MOUNT HOLD DOWN BOLTS AND LIFT THE ENG UP JUST ENOUGH TO PULL THE LINES OUT. THIS ALWAYS WORKS FOR ME. DID YOU REPLACE THE FRONT SECTIONS AS WELL. IF YOU NEED MORE INFO GET BACK TO ME..I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU,, TOM

ANSWER: HI AGAIN TYLER, I WOULD TRY TO JUST REMOVE THE LONG 3/8 BOLT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE MOUNT AND LIFT THAT SIDE ONLY..I AM PRETTY SURE THAT WILL BE ALL YOU NEED TO GET THE LINES OUT..YOU DON'T NEED MUCH. HOWEVER TO GET MORE ROOM YOU COULD REMOVE THE PASS SIDE AS WELL..THEY ARE NOT HARD TO GET AT..BUT TRY THE ONE ONLY FOR STARTERS,JUST MAKE SURE THE WOOD IS STABLE ON THE MOTOR AND JACK. LET ME KNOW HOW YOU MAKE OUT..TOM
