I have a leak from the transmission cooler line where is goes into the radiator on the passenger side. The white plastic clip ears are missing and the line pivots all around. A Dorman 800-610 looks like the part I need, but will the line come out of the old part without those ears to release it? i kind of hate to go digging around with a screwdriver trying to get it to release.

 

Out looking at the line again and I think now the leak is actually at the end of the rubber line where it is swaged onto the metal end and after watching a bunch of tube videos that weren't relevant I came across one that was of some help. I think I can get it off now and take it to a hydraulic shop to get it repaired. Also found an even larger leak from the cooler that's in between the radiator and condenser. New hose and clamps should take care of it, but the radiator is going to have to come out to get to it. Why couldn't they have put it in front of everything like they always are. It would be a few screws and pull the grill to fix it. I guess that would be too simple.

 

Then folks would complain when they had to change the a/c condenser, that the trans cooler was in the way.
