Default Special tool needed for removing Radiator lines ?

Trans lines going into the radiator, can they be pulled out with a set up needle nose, or do they require a special tool to remove the retention clip like some fuel filters do ? Want to get this rad/fan setup installed asap, weather is stupid here in FL, going to be in the 80's tomorrow, and it is " january " ! Thanks

Just a pick or little screew driver to pop the clip out.

Auto or manual and where? The lines from a Z51 manual use a "clip". I don't know about elsewhere or other configurations but in my experience don't reuse the clip. Get a new ones. They can be removed with needle nose, small screw driver, or (my preference) a pick.

They also sell the proper little plastic tool to remove those clips.You should be able to get one if you can come up with $3.00.
