How do I get these off? Twist and pull doesn't work. The thread is smaller than the new ones for the replacement (upgrade) radiator. The new ones will push into the lines. Hoping they reach with the new fittings too.
Transmission line to radiator: need to replace fittings due to different size thread

Sorry, I don't see a hairpin. Explain like of five, please. The metal tube has a rib right before it meets the metal at the end of the hose.
Ahh, I see. Thanks for the pic. Easier said than done. Any trick to them? Can't get at it with needle nose.
I just had this same issue, use a small flat head screwdriver and you can pop the edge out, then just twist and the clip pops off. There is a Dorman replacement that clips onto your metal lines that will screw into the new radiator. I can look up the part number if you need. It took me a lot of back and forth to realize how the fitting came off, and I felt really silly after figuring it out. Feel free to ask, I’m glad I went back and forth rather than cutting my line.
You don’t! That is where the Dorman fitting would go onto your trans line instead of the piece with the quick connect in your hand.
I'm pretty certain this is the part you need.

That is the one, well actually you need two, but that is the correct part. Advanced auto, Napa, orilies, az should have them in stock as well.
Thanks!
This is the answer for anyone with a GJ auto that has the quick disconnects instead of the older style.
