Auto Box Cooler Pipes

I think that my auto box cooler pipes (or one of them anyways) is leaking, my question is - is this a job that can be easily done on a ramp or is it a FMD job only because of the clips on the cooler rad ??

When I changed the cooler rad on my cossie I only used jubilee clips but thin section ones. The connections on the main rad are a problem to undo, I could not undo mine.

Ramps would be handy, the ATF cooler itself is placed behind the front bumper and the ATF in and out pipes are fairly easily accessed from below if the enginebay splashguard is removed .

If you cut the FORD fitted pipes the new cooler pipe comes with new clips ( I thinK) which are of the jubilee type. I did mine a couple of years ago and it s not too had a job.
I know that in the past people have used Hydraulic pipes and just cut back to a good section of metal pipe on the original, but they are NOT too expensive . And very dooable with a good set of ramps .
If you look at the workshop data for removal of the gear box it explains very early on in the process how to DISCONNECT the cooler pipes and where they are located. the dip stick housing just pulls put it is only a push fit .
