Transmission oil cooler line disconnect tool ford

Disconnecting a cooler line while it is attached usually destroys the line itself, because a removal of the cooler line fitting is required. Identify cooler line location. If the vehicle is rear-wheel drive, the line is commonly found underneath the car on the passenger side. If it is a front-wheel drive vehicle, it's underneath the car near the engine block.

Select proper wrench size, depending on the size of the cooler line fittings. Unscrew the fittings. Remove cooler line from transmission fitting. Didn't think that was too bad, it would cost me more in fuel to drive to the nearest dealer to have them look at it. It looks very straight forward to install, getting the old one off will probably be the most challenging part.

Thanks again and I'll post the results when I get the shipment and install it. I was leaving my daughters house and she ran out and said, Dad you are leaking fluid everywhere. I looked and there was a trail of liquid behind me.

I found a hole in the transmission line. Battery acid had dripped onto the line and eat a hole in it. My first thought was to do as you are talking about and replace the whole line.

The problem was threading the line back through the engine area. It was just too long and twisting. I bought a short line from O'reilly auto parts and bent it to match the old one. I cut off the last 18 inches of line.

I joined the two lines with a brass water compression fitting. Two years now and no problems. Before changing out the line, I would take it apart and look carefully at the mating surfaces of the line.

If they are OK I would just replace the O'ring. If it leaks with the new o'ring then I would replace the line. Wanted to update my thread. As I said I ordered a new cooler line and disconnect tool pics attached. Took me less than an hour to remove old line and install new one. Like I thought the hardest part was disconnecting old lines. For whatever reason the line is sold as an assembly so that means 4 connectors.

Once I figured out how the disconnect tool worked they came apart fairly easily. I'm not sure why the lines loop around like that. Did lose some fluid while the line was apart so I had to buy a quart of Mercon LV. I'm going to contact Ford customer service to see if they will reimburse me for the line since its still under warranty but I'm not expecting them to come through. I'm just glad its fixed seeing I couldn't find a dealer or repair shop to even look at it.

Anyways thanks to all for your input, safe travels. Thanks for reporting back. Do you see any o-rings on the old line that could be replaced? Originally Posted by Waiter Very Good for you, you fixed it yourself.

I used to have a Workhorse chassis motorhome and I often thought, I wish I had a Ford because there are Ford dealers every where if I need service, uh, not!
