Default Trans Cooling Line Tool

when removing your radiator on a 2005 automatic, are special tools needed to release the line from the cooler? those who have done this please advise on what tool you used, if any. thanks

Just use a scribe to pull the clips out,then pull the lines out of their sockets,then replace the clips before re-incerting the lines,they should clip right in,tug on them and make sure they are secure. dont damage the clips,if you do any tranny shop would have them.

I just use an angled pick to pull the clips then the line will slide right out.
