quick connect line fittings

[bumps3]

2000 Lumina----Are the quick connect tranny line fittings on the radiator able to be backed out without destroying them? Trying to change the fitting to barbed hose fitting. Thanks

Slide back the collar on the line, there is a small retaining clip you carefully pick out, don't loose it.

There is a special release tool which is more easier to do than picking it out.I have the set myself sold by Cornwell tools.Any Mac,Matco,Snap On tool dealer sell them too including most parts store.Use the 3/8 release tool
