Any good write ups on changing gearbox oil cooler pipework? From what I can see it’s a bit of a pig. Going to be tackling it mid week when my new pipes turn up.

If its anything like the p38 oil cooler when you try to slacken the pipe unions it manages to tear the threads off the cooler connections so new cooler required.try slacking them before you start the job incase you need one.

By the looks of the new pipework it’s jubilee clamps on the cooler side. I’m wondering if there is any particular thing that I should remove to make the job go smoothly. Think I’ll tackle the tear down tomorrow and see where I get to. Was thinking i may have the option of cutting the new pipes and add some hydraulic compression fittings if it looks like to much working way needs to be removed.
