I'm not so concerned about the price as much as not seeing how to reach the fittings atop the tranny
Broke everything loose with 1/2" line wrench. Then used a short open end to remove. Started all fittings by hand and finished running them down with open end and tightened down with the line wrench. Went well. Radiator area was plenty of room. At the transmission was tight with lots of wrench flipping.@OR VietVet just did a very similar repair and posted pics that should be helpful.

I'd recommend getting some flare nut wrenches. Or, if you have no need to add some to your tool collection, buy box end wrench(es) in the size(s) you need and use a grinder or cutoff disc or even a hack saw to notch the end to fit the line (~3/8"). For specialty tools like this, I hit up the miscellaneous loose tool bin at the pawn shop. You can grab an old, but good wrench (Proto/Challenger, old school Craftsman, etc.) that shouldn't break as the Harbor Freight ones are more likely to do.
Absolutely agree. Fuel line is for fuel. Oil line is for oil. Transmission fluid line is for transmission fluid. Pretty simple concept.NO, you cannot use fuel line for OIL/Trans Fluid
I wish my tube routes and connection access on the tranny were so simple as yours.@OR VietVet just did a very similar repair and posted pics that should be helpful. Check it out here: https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/thr...ish-i-didnt-turn-wrenches.142050/post-1853787

At Inline Tube, some of the lines come in two pieces for ease of install. You can call them and see what they can make for you.I wish my tube routes and connection access on the tranny were so simple as yours.
I need an 8 year old's hands to get to the transmission connections behind the exhaust. Right there the pipe expands out looking like a boa that swallowed something big.At Inline Tube, some of the lines come in two pieces for ease of install. You can call them and see what they can make for you.
