What should be cost for changing out oil cooler hoses?

[Mike Hohnstein]

Changing them isn't bad, you need a couple of mechanic fingers a couple of
inches long and couple of 5 gallon buckets to catch the glycol. Drain the
radiator after turning off all the faucet type valves you can find and the road
side block drain. Remove the clamps and use the fingers to loosen the hose
around the barb. Most any place that sells tools will have the finger tools,
that's what I call 'em maybe hose removal tool would be a good name. I use them
constantly when doing maintenance work. Just a hook like thingy with a screw
driver like handle. Use the "lined" type clamps exclusively on your bird, you
won't be happy if you let shops work on your bus, most worker bees in truck
shops hate buses. You really need to be comfortable with fuel filter changing
techniques. It will be a required skill. If you don't have an electric pusher
fuel pump back by the rear axle, you should install one very soon.

Sence I have never dealt with changing these hoses, how many hours do
you think it would take a shop to change these out? Jon
