Just curious what the procedure for replacing the oil cooler lines is in terms of the steps.

I just received a box of new parts to replace old leaking or damaged parts and I want to tackle the oil cooler lines first (and yes, they have the new o-rings on them).

I fixed all the previously known leaks, including the Oil Pressure Relief Valce o-ring, and then the oil cooler lines decide to start weeping where the rubber meets the metal.

Can I do the lines without a lift (I have a 2" OME lift and large tires)?
Will I need to drain my oil first?
What size wrench(s) will I require?

Any and all guidance is much appreciated

 

For some reason the Disco Shop Manual wasn't showing me the oil cooler lines. Toady I found the information I was looking for on page 367, and the diagram is on page 368.

It says:

"Disconnect four transmission and engine oil cooler connections to radiator end tanks. Note oil spillage will occur when connections are loosened. Blank off exposed oil connections."

This should be interesting
