STANDARD PROCEDURE - FLUID COOLER LINE QUICK CONNECT FITTING
DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove dust cap (2) by pulling it straight back off
of quick connect fitting (1).
2. Place disconnect tool (Special Tool 8875) (4) onto
fluid cooler line with the fingers of the tool facing
the quick connect fitting (1).
3. Slide disconnect tool down the line (3) 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 (1).
4. Rotate the disconnect tool 60° to expand the
retaining clip.
5. While holding the disconnect tool (4) against the
quick connect fitting (1), pull back on the oil cooler
line to remove.

ASSEMBLY
1. Align fluid cooler line (3) with quick connect fitting
(1) while pushing straight into the fitting.
2. Push in on oil cooler line until a “click” is heard or
felt.
3. Slide dust cap (4) down the oil cooler line and snap
it over the quick connect fitting until it is fully
seated and rotates freely. Dust cap (4) will only
snap over quick connect fitting when the cooler line
is properly installed.
NOTE: If dust cap will not snap into place, repeat
assembly step #2.

8. Install the air cleaner housing lid and tube assembly (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/AIR INTAKE SYSTEM/AIR CLEANER
HOUSING - INSTALLATION).
9. Install the coolant recovery container (Refer to 7 - COOLING/ENGINE/COOLANT RECOVERY CONTAINER -
INSTALLATION).
10. Connect the battery negative (-) cable to battery negative battery terminal.
11. Fill power steering pump reservoir to correct fluid level. (Refer to 19- STEERING/PUMP/FLUID - STANDARD
PROCEDURE)
12. Perform Power Steering Pump Initial Operation procedure. (Refer to 19- STEERING/PUMP - STANDARD
PROCEDURE).
