Default Changing Starter in an AT '89

Hello All.

I'm having a little trouble removing the starter from my automatic 1989 coupe. One of the problems that I'm running into is the transmission cooler lines....I can't slide the starter out because of the lines and I'm not sure how to get the lines out of the way. Does anyone know of a trick to getting this bad boy out?

Thanks!!

You may have to "nudge" the lines a little. Keep playing with it, you'll find a way to snake it out of there.

RACE ON!!!
