help-trans cooler lines stuck!!

[toolman68]

Hi guys.
I'm trying to swap out the 4l60e in my vr ute but the trans cooler lines at the box are tight as and I'm gonna round em off if i pull any harder on the spanner.....

Any ideas how to get it loose without cutting? Please?

Are you using a good quality ring spanner of the correct size ??

Using a 1/2 " kc tools ring spanner on the lower one but don't want to cut the upper if not absolutely necessary so i guess a pipe spanner is next on the shopping list

Yeah, pipe spanners get a much better grip on them. Just make sure to get the correct size or you will round them off pretty quickly.
