Boy, did I learn a lesson today! When you start a job be sure you have on
hand  ALL the parts in question.

The  change-out went well - I had done this on my '88 GL easy enough -
until I started to remove the pipe that goes through the oil cooler. Slid
the internal pipe wrench inside to loosen it - and the end of the pipe
wrench inside the pipe sheared off, leaving no way to remove it or the pipe.

After a bit of consternation I called Van Cafe and got a new one shipped.
It will be here MONDAY. In the meantime I used a pipe wrench to remove the
pipe, which of course detroyed the threads on one end of the pipe.

The lesson here is, be sure ALL elements of the job are taken into account
before starting.  The pipe I should have thought of as a failure point and
had another on hand. Had the molded hoses if I had to take them off the
cooler. That would have been the time to replace them, but the pipe I never
thought about. So, I am delayed tbree days before I can button it up and
hit the road.
