How do you disconnect the bottom radiator transmission hoses from the radiator. There is a nut on the radiator which I've unloose but I cannot pull the aluminum line out. It looks like some compression fitting.

There is only one nut that holds it into the radiator unless an adapter was installed. Once you loosten the nut, it should pull out. Check to make sure there are no clips holding the line from moving.

Let me know what you find.

You're right. There is only one nut on each transmission hose, but they don't pull out. A friend told me to buy a special tool that will take it apart. Thanks, Tom

It should pull out when you loosten the bolt.
