Hi, I need some help. My return line on my 05 GT is dripping trans fluid. Previous owner hit something, put a big dent in the front subframe cross member, cracked the engine oil pan (had it welded back up last week) and must have nocked the cooler return line too. I'm assuming it cracked the Oring in there or something and I just need to replace it and not the entire line. Trouble is I'm not sure how to remove the line from the transmission. The dealer says there is a threaded stud that the line connects to, it looks like I could put a wrench on it and unscrew it but there is some sort of metal spring clip in the nut and I don't wanna damage anything by plunging in unprepared. Can anyone shine some light on this for me? Do I need a special disconnect tool before I unscrew the nut or amd I way off base here? Please let me know, thanks!
