Anybody have any novel ideas to get the connector on that one? I can't squeeze my hand down there at all.

remove fans.

The fans didn't want to move (guess the upper hoses have to come off for it), but the engine sat back a fair amount after the dogbones came off so that was all the room needed. What a PITA those things were though. Now let's see if AAMCO can figure out where the 25-40mph whining is coming from.

I didnt seem to have that much of a hassle of getting my lines replaced...Originally Posted by tonglebeak
all i did was jack the car up, get underneath it, remove the splash shield under the car (or bend it outta the way i removed mine for the time being). easiest way i found to do this, was disconnect the end off the transmission 1st (you may wanna drain tranny oil). once that end is disconnected, pop off the plastic clips holding the lines to the subframe i believe? or the steel bar running across there (i cant remember) then grab (idk what size) one of them uh, ratchet wrenches (or w-e the hell you call it, with the adjustable closed end) slide it up the line till you get to the connection at the bottom of the rad, and enjoy, mine came off in under 20min

Speedy.. you may have threaded lines. It sounds like OP has click style. First time out..they can be fun to do. Get clip off (hope to hell you don't lose it) then wiggle the corrosion free and off comes the line.

It's fun. I need to get pics of these guys.
Basically anything after 99-00 in the W body land, got the click style the bigger bodies appear to have waited longer. Anyhow.. you have a flared cooler line instead of having a threaded end on it. The flare goes into the fitting in teh trans or radiator and simply clicks in. Key is..there's a special tool (I don't yet have one) kinda like the fuel line tool to disconnect them. Or you pry out the clip and pray you don't lose it.. then put the clip back in before clicking the new line in place.

$6 set of picks from lowes was the missing special tools needed lol. Plus a socket set to pull the dogbones.
