    On a side note, what type of tool is required for the power steering hose disconnect? I have fuel/AC type disconnect tools but this appears a bit different.

      I'm assuming you're talking about where the lines connect to the cooler (otherwise it's just regular ole banjo bolts and hose clamps)? You don't need a special tool, just push down on the plastic rim evenly and wiggle the hose off the connector. If the hose is original, it will probably be a little stuck.

        For the tool, spray the connector with some wd40, pull the hose up a bit, then I've had success using an open end wrench/pliers to push on the white plastic tab. Similar to the rear-facing fuel filter connector.
