AT Fluid Cooler Pipes

After swapping a rusted out transmission oil pan on my 2006 G35X, fluid is leaking out of the cooler pipes. Anyone have experience replacing these?
I found the parts here:

Had to do mine 6 years ago because of rust forming a pin hole through one of the pipes. Easy job, 2 banjo fittings on the transmission and hose connections under the engine. I did drain the fluid though so I'm not sure how easy or possible it would be to do without draining the transmission fluid again.

Thanks guys, planning to swap the fluid, but this developed after I changed the transmission oil pan which was leaking so I guess my tranny oil should be fairly clean after 2 drain and fills.

I've been using Castro Transmax. Anyone have a feedback on tranny fluids?

I've been using Redline D4 full synthetic ATF. Haven't put a drop of Matic-S in my AT in the 33k miles I've owned it and it shifts smooth as butter (except for manual shifts into 3rd at high speeds, of course).

Redline is great stuff, works very well in Honda's so called glass transmissions. Biggest issue turned out to be the crap Honda Z1 ATF with too many friction modifiers in it. Super smooth shifts were slipping shifts. Using their newer DW1 ATF or Redline makes a big difference in shift feel and transmission life.

How did you get the 2 bolts off for the banjo fittings? I had the exhaust then driveshaft in my way.

Mine was RWD, they were in plain sight on the side of the transmission.
