Re: Trans. Line to Radiator Tool

Those quick connects have plastic locks built in. Mamopar expects you to
depress the sides with your fingers and slide the lines off. A few grains
of sand build up in there, and will make it a PAIN to get off. This link
http://www.fast4x4.net/line.htm may be of some help in removing them.

  After further inspection, it looks like the lines from my auto
transmission that run into the radiator may require a special tool to remove
them. I guess I could unscrew the fitting that goes into the radiator, but
the connector looks like it is supposed to plug/unplug from the fitting.
  One of the lines was replaced sometime back with a regular hose and two
hose clamps (it was leaking a few years back). It can be removed easily I
think. The other line however is still stock and looks like it will require
a special tool. I suppose I could cut it and make it like the other one,
but I would rather not.

  Also, I plan to replace the radiator with a stock replacement....nothing
special. Napa lists a Modine replacement at $192 online. I checked several
other sites online and found one that seems to be pretty cheap. They list
what looks to be the same Modine radiator for $116. The site is called:

Anyone have any experience with this company?

Thanks.
