Post subject:  Removing transmission oil cooler lines
I'm still trying to remove my transmission. The last thing holding me up is the upper cooler line.

1. Can any one tell me the bolt size of the line at the transmission?
2. OR does anyone have the quick removal tool to disconnect it at the cooler (8775a or something like that) that I can borrow.
3. Other ideas to get through this. There's not enough slack in these lines to get the torque converter out, even with the plastic holder disco'd.

Thanks,

The fitting that holds the line to the tranny I thought was 15/16.

Hmmm...interesting. Everything else on these vehicles seems to be metric!

15/16" and 24mm are the same size,so yes still metric.


The only thing on your KJ that is not metric is the wheel studs,lugnuts,and studs that hold the spare tire bracket to the swing gate.

IIRC the fitting is a quick disconnect which requires removal of a clip pin. Of course, I didn't know this until after I did it the hard way breaking the torque on those fittings.

Following GDE's write up, I was able to get to the TC with the lines on, I used my stock jack to keep the trans far enough away from the engine to reach up in there to pull it out (the lines flex enough, but they just wouldn't permanently deform so the transmission never stayed far enough away without a brace)
