I just installed a new radiator, using a Haynes manual. It said to get a special tool to disconnect the transaxle fluid lines from the old radiator but didn't say what it was, so I just pried off the retaining clips with a screwdriver. Now I can't get the clips back on. Can't get in there far enough to get leverage. Is there a specialty tool I need to get the clips back on, or is there a way I can improvise using common tools?
