A couple 3/16 drill bits and some patience will go a long way! Its not that hard just use a punch to knock the pin of the rivets down then drill and drill!
Had To Do The Same Job Last Season Take Your Time And Make Sure Drill Bits Are Sharp Or New Its Not That Bad!!!!!!! Good Luck

The biggest pain in the a** is the forward hose connection! That gearbox is a little in the way.
If you get a drill bit for drilling stainless steel, it will last forever. Good luckditchbanger2002 said:

As has been stated before, first punch out center, then drill. I just had to remove a ton of rivets to get at the forward hose & found that method to work the best.

thanks guys! just fighting with the front hose now! i got fat fingers! ha
i just pulled off left and right side coolers today...lots of patience first off. The right side front rubber hose is by far the toughest part to take off. I ended up taking the skin off the right side, then theres plenty of room to get the hose off...and most importantly to get it back on. I figured i could get the cooler off the hose, but getting that hose back on the cooler correctly, would be impossible.
