As most of you may already know I'm a 2nd gen guy. The reason I'm posting here is that I removing Drifter93's engine for him while he is in Saudi. I have gotten stuck at disconecting the oil cooler lines. I removed the pins, but I'm unsure on how to get the lines disconected after that. Do they just unscrew or do they just pull out? I'm trying to be careful and not break anything, (don't want to cost him anymore money)so when I tried removing them the first time I may not have used enough force. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.



BTW his car is a 93 base model.

I dunno about 3rd gens, but if its anything like a FC, you just unscrew the bolts then the lines come right off. And they are on there hard!

Ok then I'll put some more *** and a little liquid wrench into it next time. I just didn't want to break anything. Thanks.

They are usually tight as **** and a bitch to loosen, I found the best way is to get two huge crecent wrench and then disolcate your sholder trying to break them loose..
