Getting closer and closer to pulling the motor and I figured I'd pull the motor and trans together.
Is there a trick to getting the trans cooler lines off the body of the trans? There doesn't seem to be any room to get a regular line wrench in there and I don't want to round of the nut with anything else...which would mean buying new lines.
Isn't that why they make bigger tool boxes every year:thumbsup:
Well they do come in handy for lots of stuff but check your local cheap place for a throwaway set. I just looked quick and your harbor freight place down there has a set of basic ones for $12. Probably good enough.
I don't know how they route them on the C3 but I've pulled engines and trans with them attached before. Just remove them from the radiator and usually they are bolted to the crossmember.
Actually, I'm not sure about the later years either, on my 72 they run under the frame crossmember and then kick up towards the rad so I have to disconnect at the trans. Maybe the later years they went above the frame, or on the SB?

Raid...I was thinking that too. I just do not want to bend these lines. I think they go under the front crossmember, but I'll check again tomorrow.
Drbluevert...They are soaking in PB Blaster until morning. And I NEVER have good luck with line nuts...I can't even count how many I have rounded off. :down:
Thats a damn sweet tool, but how would you use in on a line nut? I don't see a way to get the coil around the nut. :huh:
