Guys:
I have yet to remove and re-install any of the
oil cooler plumbing on my ERA. These hoses are just as shown in the fine picture from COBRA. They appear to have what are known as AN fittings at both the cooler as well as at the sandwich adaptor.
Before I attempt to loosen and remove these AN fittings at my old sandwich adaptor, is there anything I need to know about them? I have seen special AN type wrenches for sale. Are the necessary?
Also, is any type of gasket or O-ring or teflon tape used in the fitting?
Also, when the fitting is taken apart, is it then more apt to leak upon re-connection? Is there a torque ft-Lbs I should be aware of?
Sorry for these dumb questions but I figgure better early than later!
Thanks
