E4od removal...how do I plug fluid lines?
Hi guys, I think I have everything off that needs to be, except for the transmission cooler lines. Does anybody know of a good way to plug these lines so fluid doesn't pour out everywhere. I'm hoping that I can find some sort of rubber plug that I can just push in...otherwise, I'm not sure what to do.
Thanks,
Hunter

The pan can be sort of a mess. Get a large fluid catch, and take off all the bolts except the corner ones. Loosen the bolts a little bit on one end (so that the pan can pivot on these just a tad) and put the catch under the other end. Take these bolts out and slowly lower the pan. Its going to make a mess no matter what you do, so have fun...

Thanks for the replies guys. I actually found some little cork stoppers at Lowes, and they worked great! The reason I didn't drain the pan is that I just changed the fluid and filter about 200 miles ago...so the messiness of it is still fresh in my mind. I don't want to go through that again for 15 or 20 thousand miles.
Thanks again,
