They are just a bare bud. The best way is a good impact gun.

I used an 18 inch breaker bar. The rubber mounts flexed a lot, but once you break loose the lock washer it should come right off. Though impact is best of course.

You may have to have a friend brace the oil cooler so it doesnt rip out of its mounts.

I had some trouble breaking the banjo bolt loose. i did it by attaching a monkey wrench to the banjo bolt and taking my 10' breaker bar and poping the bolt loose. The other one i knocked loose with my impact gun. If i were you, id find a way to get an impact gun on the bolt with the right socket. My way fucked the bolt

I got a 23mm deep socket from autozone and a breaker bar. Stuck the handle from my 3 ton jack on there and had them off in a few seconds.
