FORD TRANSMISSION LINE REMOVAL METHOD 2

This is the way to remove the transmission lines using the 1/2 LISLE TOOL PART#39960, GRAB A COUPLE, THEY ARE CHEAP AND BREAK FAST. I only got 2 uses out of mine on my Lincoln MXK, same setup on 2011-2015 lincoln mkx, and dozens of other ford vehicles transmission lines.
Here is a link to my first method of you cand find or dont have this tool, but you have fuel disconnect tools:
• HOW TO PROPERLY DISCON...

Thanks for posting . Tried a number of things to no avail now I know what to look for.

[@JackC602]

Just what I needed to finish the job... damn you Ford!

[@rodneyjhackenflash4865]

I drank the Kool-Aid and bought the special tools, too. That idea was as bad as Jonestown. So instead, I used two tiny flat-head screwdrivers & disconnected the line within a few seconds. The "special" tools are a very bad design, no matter the company they come from. Two tiny screwdrivers did the job, like I said, in a few seconds. I returned the "special" tools, btw.

[@jacobwarren7104]

I need to do this tomorrow care to elaborate how you did it?

[@freeman7079]

Why you whispering like your wife gonna catch you slipping? Just kidding though man, great video. Quick and easy.

[@clarkfamily7571]

Best video to help find and look at the connectors. Im assuming you had to take the tire off to get that close as its a very tight area to work.

[@clarkfamily7571]

also if its just leaking from the connectors could you use plumbing tape to stop the leak?

[@17patman]

Sadly 9 times out of 10 the “special tool” won’t work. You got lucky. Thanks Ford.

[@stevegarmier563]

I just had to do this yesterday and I tried and tried for hours to get the cooler line off. Well I just cut the stupid thing and put a rubber hose over the new cooler line. Bc the clip in my line wouldn't release at all. I just was watching this bc I wanted to see how they're supposed to come off. I also busted the stupid plastic tool that I just bought.

[@wakcedout]

that special tool must only work in southern states, where you dont get rust like we do up north. ive tried that and all the bastard did was break everytime i tried to use it. if you got rust....you better hope you can find an alternate solution to remove those lines. if theyre clear of rust like these in this video, consider yourself lucky that the cheap 1 cent to make tool will work for you.

[@gordiray6130]

LOL!! Yup, that's one thing we get plenty of up here is rust isn't it. They have a metal tool that is almost like a pair of scissors to that now

[@wakcedout]

@@gordiray6130 I’ve seen that and it’s too thick to fit between the line and the fitting. Heat is usually the only answer. Can’t be stuck if it’s liquid lol

[@Killthestang]

For what ford be more specific year make model engine size

[@daveschultz1807]

Best thing to do is have a very wet towel use a propane torch melt the O-ring until you literally see it popping out little bits with fire then with the wet towel yank it apart

[@anthonygarcia5746]

Transmission oil is very flammable. You could bur the whole thing

[@daveschultz1807]

The motor is not running, and the transmission lines are not under pressure so there will be very little likelihood of starting a huge fire. I did say, have a wet rag nearby and please be careful.

[@ludwig-vi6pi]

Thanks for sharing 👊🏼💯

[@JoseCubanitofm]

Sorry for the ignorance, when you do this I’m thinking all the trans oil will drain out? So be prepared for it, or it won’t all leak out? I need to change radiator to trans line. Thanks

[@davidescobedo1317]

Only what’s in the line

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

It's not under pressure and there is very little that will drip out.

[@jackharding98]

Thanks a bunch for the video, great help. Appreciate it man.

[@olenaerhardt7725]

@2:21 What is that fluid coming out on transmission lines? Coolant or transmission fluid? Thank you. Update: this is Coolant. Transmission Lines go to the Radiator.

[@Locust13]

Transmission fluid. If there was coolant running into the transmission the transmission would be destroyed.

[@olenaerhardt7725]

@@Locust13 Thank you for attention to my question, but I recently removed the Radiator and 2 Transmission Coolant Lines, which go fm/Radiator to Transmission, so there are some sections of Transmission which accept coolant, probably different chambers for Coolant and Transmission fluid, which are separated. There are only Coolant Lines on Transmission.

[@Josh-qc3uj]

​@@olenaerhardt7725 it should be transmission fluid that runs to your cooler not coolant

[@jcnmyboy3365]

.. totally agree with the bottom comment people, thnx *

[@monkeyslap]

Only minor fluid leak when doing this? I gotta unhook mine to replace the lower deflector. Thanks.

[@miguelortiz2422]

How do u put it back

[@gordiray6130]

By God it was a long time ago but it's still a great question today 😁😁

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

Simply push it back in and it locks on.

[@eegg6954]

How come I spent six hours fighting with these using six different tools and couldn't get them off?

[@eltonjeans7394]

Putting lines back inn I'm having issues it's still all apart waiting on metal tool totally sucks

[@MidwestRidazmotorizedbikes]

What's the name of the part the lines go in

[@SamElizondo]

Transmission oil cooler thermostat, aka my pain in may axx. I burned two transmission's turned out the thermostat was stuck closed and not allowing the fluid to circulate

[@shotguneddie50]

Won't work if the lines are rusted. Bess to just get the metal scissor disconnect

[@eltonjeans7394]

Just ordered mine what a pain in duffle bag

[@rctjacksonville]

Very good, well done video, helped a lot.

[@adventureairinc7355]

which one is inlet to the cooler and which is outlet ?

[@wilsonelitemovers736]

Thanks other videos didn't show correct tool.

[@seshachary5580]

thank you very educative regards

[@MartinezRE1]

You the man

[@mackcrawford2472]

[@AJBRAVO11]

Thank you for the video .I have 2012 Ford Edge, Can you tell me which line is going to the radiator ? I want to install remote filter on trans lines . Is it possible to use these lines here? Thank you again

[@michaelb.7800]

No most higher end kits will actually come with everything you need though

[@rob_v_nj]

You will reduce flow if you do that.

[@dTamerSam]

Is it ok if air gets inside the cooler system

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

Yes. It's not under pressure when not running and the air will be pushed on out through the system when it's running.

[@alexlozada3093]

What about the other side

[@Joshua-ys6qz]

Thank you

[@REACTORVISUAL]

thank god this shit broke after the 2nd line, im sure you would be boiling if it happens on the first one, since is almost imposible to remove the line not destroying it without the stupid tool.

[@fredyrodriguez4221]

Thx

[@jameskarels5317]

Should change the title of video to "How to take of oil cooler line Quick connect fittings on ford f150" is more accurate..

[@unclebigbeard6757]

don't buy a couple get metal ones from amazon

[@marylamb6063]

Won't work on a 2003 F150

[@robz5435]

Why can't the stupid manufacturers include the fitting with a new line purchase? That way wouldn't have to mess with this stupid bs.

[@772777777777777]

I bought the same tool but aluminum scissor...didn't work...I could not get to engage up the connector to click..anyone have any tips

[@deniseoliver8924]

Too bad no one answered, we're unable to get it to work too

[@user-qg3bt7ho4n]

Same here

[@772777777777777]

I ened up spinning the connector off the housing... connector would not release even with home made tool.

[@DJMikeT69]

So I came across the same problem and here's what I did to get mine loose. I truly hope this helps others. I bought the tool and at first could not get the snap ring to "Click". I attempted this several times with no success. I figured since the line placement and snap was on the top of the line that either dirt, or corrosion must be keeping the ring from moving so I sprayed it down with "Knock Er Loose" it's a penetrating oil similar to Kroil and others on the market. I waited about 30 minutes and tried again, still no click so I sprayed the fitting again and waited another 30 minutes. After the 2nd spray down I wiped down the line and put the tool back on and engaged it and it "Clicked". However the line at first still wouldn't disconnect, I had to keep the tool engaged and twist the fitting back in forth in a semi circular motion while pulling down and finally it came loose. That sucker was really on there. My truck has 100K miles and this is the first time that I'm aware of this being done to it since I bought the truck with only 40K miles on it. Hope this helps someone else, basically it took a lot of patience and letting the penetrating oil work on the fitting.

[@gordiray6130]

@@DJMikeT69 and here it is years later and I'm having problems getting the sucker to snap back together
