88 N/A oil hose exploded
Ok, so one of my oil lines exploded yesterday, I think the one going to the oil cooler. Anyway, anyone have any idea what all is entailed in replacing these lines, how hard they are to get to, what all I have to remove? Any help here is good. I'm replacing all lines I can find that may be bad since I don't want anything else going wrong soon.

Lines are no problem to get to, i think corksport sells the cheapest stainless steel braided replacement lines, they use the stock banjo bolt connectors so you don't have to switch over to -an fittings.
Only problem is that the bolts are HUGE.. I have the proper sockets and wrenches now, but the first time i did it, i went to wall mart and bought two big assed stanley adjustable wrenches, ones that go to 30mm, and they still come in handy from time to time.

Or... for about the same price, you can build your own 10-an lines, but that will require some modification, I had to move my oil cooler towards the passenger side about an inch to get the 90 degree Earl's -10 an fittings to clear when i made my set. if you want to do that, I'll post a parts list, but the corksport set is going to be the best option if you are looking for a direct fit replacement.
