Does anyone know how to remove the oil lines hose barbs coming out of the bottom of the engine? They look like they would be a threaded fitting and I tried to break them loose but was getting a bit concerned about the amount of force I was applying to them so I thought I'd ask before I broke them off.

I removed the lines on my sons YX 150 and they were tight as hell but came off with no damage to the threds and they went back on easy but dont try to tighten them as tight as they had been i tried and the bolt started pulling the threads the washers on my sons have a rubber washer on one side so they seal up easyily.

Mine are super tight as you said so I'll try to get them off as I want to make a filter similar to the two bros. filter/oil cooler without the cooler. Funny thing is I actually have that same Earls oil cooler from the early 90's I bought to use on a custom Sportster I was building at the time, but it will go unused again for another day.
