Default 97 trans cooler line removal/instal

Ok, i'm finally getting around to changing my lines due to a leak. I have the old ones disconnected. Now what is the best way to remove these and install the new? Do i need to nisconnect or move anything out of my way to remove them? Just was out fighting with it and cant seem to find that sweet spot to pull them out.

Thanks for any help.

The old ones are installed at the same time as the motor. Good luck with them coming out in 1 piece. Im betting you will need to tweak the new ones to get them to go back in. If not cut them....sorry.

You can replace the rubber part of the lines without having to replace the whole line. Just tack a Dremmel tool with a cut off wheel and cut two slits in the factory crimp on the rubber hose 180 degrees from eachother, then spread the cut aluminum open like a clam shell and pull the hose off of the hard line and connector. Replace the hose with a hose that is approved for ATF and use a couple of hose clamps at each end to insure there are no leaks.
