Need help asap so i can get to work. Taking radiator off, the bottom tranny cooler line will not come off. The manual doesnt say how either. It almost looks like a quick disconnect but it doesnt work! how do i take it off? it has the 45 degree tube that is threaded on one end and goes into what looks alike a quick disconnect than the rubber tube. I am trying to unscrew it but it wont more....it bends. please help thanks

Squeeze the tabs and pull it off. The tabs stay on the tube so don't pull on them. Squeeze the tabs with one hand and pull with the other.

I think you have to push the white tab into the connector to disconnect it.

squeeze the tabs together with your fingers or a set of needle nose pliers and you should be able to separate the fitting. You can get new o-rings and retainers from the dealer for a few dollars. Well worth it to stop leaks.

I had the same problem, the clip wouldnt let go. Cut the metal peice in the middle, and when you put it back together, slip some rubber hose over it and put tiny hose clamps on. Thats what I ended up doing. I guess its a low pressure line so it wont blow the hose off easily.

Heres the link to my old post

(FYI) that a 37.5 angle fitting much like there use on AC lines.
If you cut and use hose and clamps use two clamps on each end. Try to cut at a point that will not see a lot of vibration or let the line hang from the patch. Same if you use compression fittings Very low presser but of lot of these patches get pulled apart if not done right.
