I got a 1 ton cooler but I have no idea how to disconnect the lines from the trans cooler, I was told a fuel line tool will work but I scratch my head as to how I'm suppose to use the damn thing. Any help would be appreciated :)

The question I'm asking Greg is how you actually disconnect the lines from the trans cooler. I'm not sure what I'm suppose to do

The inlet and outlet of the cooler have quick release fittings located on the passenger side a few inches from the cooler. Use the proper tool from the kit that fits the tube diameter and slip it over the tube in front of the fitting and then slide (push) the tool into the fitting to release the fitting and at the same time pull the tube out of the fitting. The ends can be seen in this picture.

This will show you how it works.
