i have a 1987 gxl and im trying to replace the oil cooler hoses. but can anyone help and tell how do i take off the netted hose. i believe its the lower that goes near the oil pan.

 

Put the appropriate sized socket (23MM I think?) on the banjo bolt and loosen it up. Unless I am missing something? All the oil cooler hoses are standard banjo fittings except the one that connects to the front cover. The front cover fitting will require a thin adjustable wrench and a good bit of effort to remove.
