Things You'll Need Jack Jack stands Drain pan 3/8-inch ratchet and socket set Line wrench set Teflon tape Replacement oil cooler line fittings Replacement oil cooler lines Replacement oil cooler line plastic inserts Oil Lift up the vehicle using the jack and place it on jack stands. Make sure the vehicle is secure before you crawl underneath it. Drain the oil from the oil pan into the drain pan by unbolting the drain pan bolt using the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket. Once the oil has drained out, reinstall the plug. Unscrew an oil cooler line from the radiator using the line wrench. This will spill out some oil, so you may want to keep the drain pan handy. Follow the oil line to the oil filter, and unbolt the bracket that holds the oil lines to the engine using the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket. Then push in the plastic clip on the oil filter assembly to release the line. Unscrew the fitting from the oil cooler housing using the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket. Then wrap Teflon tape around the end of the replacement fitting and install it in the oil filter housing using the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket. Don't tighten it too much, otherwise you risk cracking the housing. Insert the replacement plastic fitting into the fitting manually. Run the replacement oil cooler line from the radiator to the oil filter housing and push it into the plastic clip on one end, and tighten it down using the line wrench on the other. Repeat Steps 3-5 for the other oil cooler line. Once it's replaced, tighten down the bracket that secures both lines to the engine using the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket. Fill the engine with the amount of oil the manufacturer recommends.
it`s in the radiator (notice two large lines on passenger side radiator tank)
I use a 13mm swivel socket and a very long extension, 3/8" drive.
It there on the passenger side of the radiator then there TRANSMISSION coolant lines and they hook to the transmission. If there on the other side then there OIL cooler lines for the engine.

You pull them out
Yes, Just unhook them from the side of the oil filter adapter and install 2 pipe plugs in there place. That's it.
Depending on where the leak is, if there is a weakness in the 350 it was with the oil cooler lines. It turns out that most of the oil leaks from the cooler lines has nothing to do with seals. It's a problem with the cooler line.
If your vehicle has an engine oil cooler ther will be two hydraulic lines going to each side of your radiator. If there are only lines going to one side of your radiator, then it doesn't have an engine oil cooler.
Find the part that needs to be replaced and do what u need to do to get it off if then put the new part on :)
with the ignition switch OFF, break the fuel lines loose slowly. there may be some fuel leak out, but that is normal.
Yes there are oil cooler lines that come off of the oil filter adapter, they feed in to an oil cooler that is built in to the radiator.
Take off the gas cap.
