04 grand prix gtp cooler lines

has anybody ever changed the trans cooler lines on a 04 grand prix? And what"s the best way to pull the line going to the radiator just beneath the lower radiator hose? Any advice would be appreciated. -Joe
 


Both lines should be above the lower radiator hose where they enter the radiator. They are clip or click style fittings. So you buy a set of clips from teh dealer ahead of time. Then pull back on the piece of plastic covering the fitting and use a pick to send your clips across the room into the vast unfindable corner. Or be super careful with yours and skip buying a set. Then the lines are typicall held with a screw or plastic retainer to the lower radiator support and they click into the trans as well.

don't forget the 13mm holding the lines to the trans.
 
Haha yea those those clips really go flying.
The lower one i got the clip out and the plastic piece off but the line wouldn't come out at all. So i may just leave that one on. I even tried takeing the threaded fitting straight out of the radiator but since its so hard to even get to with it being under the radiator hose and next to a bunch of crap i can't even do it that way.
But i can get those clips from the dealership though?! I've definately lost a few clips this bout..
 
Yup...and their technical name is Effing transmission line holding clip. Parts guy will know exactly what you need.

I sometimes spray a little penetrating oil at them and then wiggle the lines loose.
 
Haha. I tried pb's penetrating oil, tried wiggleing it every which way possible.. Its still on there. It's not completely rusted or anything
