I can't win. Every 20 min jobs takes a day.
Got the pan off and got new filter and gasket.
What do I do with the orange gasket. The new filter has one I can't get off and the place where it goes in the tranny has one I can't get out.
Do I just keep both? Filter seems to go in OK.

Try something with a dull hook at the end and pull it down.

Worked like a charm. Found a hooked awl and it came right out. Thank you.
But now I must tell you all that I quit.
Replaced the gasket with a new gasket. Tightened everything down. Filled er up.
And it still leaks.
Same place.
These were the before pics

Well in the process of doig the deed. The connector came out of the cooler. Took it to the dealer and talked with parts guy and a tech. They do sell just the connector and you can put it back in the cooler. The line was about $30 and the connector was $24.
Other line won't be in until Tues. I will get it wed and start the repair.
Got to say I like working on this truck. Don't need to lift it to work under it.
I appreciate everyones help.

This leads to another funny story. So online I read that you could not replace those, you had to replace the radiator. When I went to the dealership with the broken part to get a new radiator the parts guy said you can just get the fitting, so I bought that.
When I went to replace the second line this weekend, I bought the fitting first. When I went to the parts counter to order it another guy was at the desk. When I described the part he said they did not make them and I needed a new radiator.
Anyway, I ordered one for the other side assuming it was going to break and guess what? It came apart without an issue. So now I have an extra one. And they are $28.
Sorry pic is sideways.

Oh and the after pic
There is a small dent in the pan where the leak starts. Same place as before.
New pan or try to over tighten the bolts?

Do NOT overtighten. You will strip the thread in the body.
