Fluid Line/Hose: Service and Repair

STANDARD PROCEDURE - QUICK CONNECT FITTING DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY

DISCONNECT










1. Remove the dust cap by pulling it straight back off of the quick connect fitting (1).
2. Place the properly sized release tool (4) onto the transmission cooler line with the fingers of the tool facing the quick connect fitting.
3. Slide the release tool down the transmission line and engage the fingers of the tool into the retaining clip. When properly engaged in the clip, the tool will fit flush against the quick connect fitting.
4. Rotate the release tool 60° to expand the retaining clip.
5. While holding the release tool against the quick connect fitting, pull back on the transmission cooler line to remove it.
6. If the quick connect fitting is damaged or leaking at the transmission oil cooler or transmission, remove the fitting.

CONNECT










1. If removed, install the quick connect fitting into the transmission oil cooler or the transmission. Tighten the fitting to 15 Nm (132 in. lbs.).
2. Align the cooler line (3) with the quick connect fitting while pushing straight into the fitting.
3. Push in on the transmission cooler line until a click is heard or felt.
4. Slide the dust cap (4) down the transmission cooler line and snap it over the quick connect fitting until it is fully seated and rotates freely. The dust cap will only snap over the quick connect fitting when the transmission cooler line is properly installed.

NOTE: If the dust cap will not snap into place, repeat step 2.
