So after searching and searching, I have not found a solid how to on how to remove the radiator on our trucks. Im not sure if maybe im just too stupid to figure it out and there was no need for a walkthrough or what the deal is with that.

Anyway, its obviously a pretty straightforward process (or so i thought). I have everything disconnected from the rad except 1 line. I cant seem to find anything to unscrew the bottom trans cooler line on the driver side of the rad. Its like theres not enough space between the plastic bracket for the fan shroud and the lower rad hose. Is there a special tool or something i should be using? I did the top one just fine with an adjustable wrench but this ones giving me alot of trouble....

 

My repair manual says its the same as the top with a hose clamp.

 

How did you remove the bottom oil line?

I think there is a special tool. But i cant find it.

Thanks
