Removal Procedure
- Using a bent-tip screwdriver or equivalent, pull on one of the open ends of the retaining ring in order to rotate the retaining ring.
- Rotate the retaining ring around the quick connector until the retaining ring is out of position and can be completely removed.
Discard the retaining rings.
- Remove the engine oil cooler line from the quick connector fitting at the radiator.
Pull the lines straight out from the connectors.
- Clean all of the components in a suitable solvent, and dry them with compressed air.
- Inspect the fittings, the connectors, the cooler lines, and the cooler for damage, distortion, or restriction. Replace parts as necessary.
