Need someone to text/call/email me ASAP on how to disconnect these Oil Cooler Lines on the bottom passenger side of the radiator. Tried using wrenches, but started jacking crap up. Is there a specialty tool required... and if so, please send me the part number.
FYI, I blew my turbos on my 2.7t and am attempting to remove the engine so that I can replace turbos.

Those lines shouldn't be excessively tight. A simple 22mm and 19mm should do the job.

I've seen them rust together but from the looks of it they look fine As brian said a 22mm and 19mm are the tools for the job. Make sure to replace the liter of oil that drains from the pipes and the trans when you separate them. I had a customer which ruined his gearbox due to low oil after an engine removal.

x2 also make sure ur not too close with ur face to it or it will give u a nice shower lol (happened to me)
if the oil that comes out is too dark looking then i wouldnt refill the one litter ill just drain it and put new oil.... better safe then sorry...
also to make life easier take the nut off the oil pan that holds them up to give ur self a lil bit more room to work... they came out pretty easy i held one with a crescet wrench and turn the other with a second crescet
