you should up grade to a air cooled style anyway.
cooling the oil with 180* antifreeze dosent make much sense.....

those lines your talking about a lot of times seize together like permanently.

I used liquid wrench to loosen it up, let it sit for a bit, then carefully turn.

Nope, you will need to replace it. That line feeds oil from the pump to the engine, would you trust JB for that?

On the rear iron? It's a banjo bolt. Simply unbolt it. You will need 2 new crush washers when you put it back together.
