I need to replace the trans cooler lines on an '06 Liberty, and was told that a special tool is needed to disconnect/connect the lines. I was also told that the lines are not easy to replace with the vehicle on a hoist, and may be nearly impossible on jackstands. Can anyone point me in the right direction on this? Thanks in advance!

As for the connection to the trans,QUICK CONNECT FITTING DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY


DISCONNECT


1. Remove dust cap by pulling it straight back off of quick connect fitting (1).
2. Place properly sized Release Tool (4) onto transmission cooler line with the fingers of the tool facing the quick connect fitting.
3. Slide Release Tool down the transmission line and engage the fingers of the tool into the retaining clip. When properly engaged in the clip, the tool will fit flush against the quick connect fitting.
4. Rotate the release tool 60° to expand the retaining clip.
5. While holding the release tool against the quick connect fitting, pull back on the transmission cooler line to remove.
6. If quick connect fitting is damaged or leaking at transmission oil cooler or transmission, remove fitting.




CONNECT


1. If removed, install quick connect fitting into transmission oil cooler or transmission. Tighten fitting to 15 N·m (132 in. lbs.).
2. Align transmission cooler line (3) with quick connect fitting while pushing straight into the fitting.
3. Push in on transmission cooler line until a “click” is heard or felt .
4. Slide dust cap (4) down the transmission cooler line and snap it over the quick connect fitting until it is fully seated and rotates freely. Dust cap will only snap over quick connect fitting when the transmission cooler line is properly installed.


NOTE: If dust cap will not snap into place, repeat assembly step #2.


Will be very hard to do on the ground, why are you replacing them?
