NEED HELP ASAP!!! Any Advice On Plugging the Oil Cooling Lines Back In?
Like the title says...
I took out the radiator out and changed it out (without removing the fan....which was sooo much less work and totally manageable) but I didn't know that I had to pull the tranny cooling lines to remove the radiator.
I ended up taking them off with minimal loss of tranny fluid but now there is NO WAY in Gods name that they are going in....Any advice?
The cooling lines are not the ones built into the radiator rather a separate mini radiator attached to the front of the radiator.
Thanks guys!

The radiator is already mounted but the cooling hoses are flexible enough that they can be somewhat manipulated. It just seems that they just wont go into their holes for some reason!
I would appreciate more than one feedback as I need to get this beast back on the road.
Thanks guys!

Sorry for the horrible pic but this is all I could find.
This thing connects to the front of the radiator. In the bottom left where there are two hole. That is the in and out of the tranny cooling lines. They seem to push ones as they are smooth. But for some reason I am unable to push them in...I am going to try to give it a love tap in the morning but I would appreciate any other ideas.
p.s. I will look for a better picture
