Question Trans cooler lines
I cannot for the life of me get the transmission lines out ot the bottom of the radiator. I don 't want to break anything. I've tried every tool under the sun. What's the secret here?

maybe try one of them fuel line tools if you can get it up in there, might be able to get the hose loosened off for you if it can reach it.

I saw some of those tools that are bigger then what would be used on a fuel line at my parts store today, don't know what size it was though, in case the fuel line ones are too small.

IIRC there's a special tool specifically for it. Maybe one of the tech's can chime in on the trick for it. Thank goodness the earlier trucks were just flare fittings.
