Has anyone ever replaced either of the hoses that connect to the oil filter cooler? Can this been done without pulling the exhaust pipes (the bolts on mine are solid pieces of iron oxide)? It may prove necessary to remove the oil filter to get at them. Is there any "easy" way of preventing the oil filter screw on plate from getting drenched in whatever coolant is hanging around in those hoses? I found I could not pinch the spring clamps after draining the cooling system over the weekend (at least with the exhaust pipes and the oil filter still on), any suggestions? Thanks in advance... dave
