I have two tubes that go from the bottom of my radiator, and accrding to my diagrams they are the transmission cooling tubes..

Anyone know if this is just a simple replace or are there pressures involved, and are there gaskets involved?

Oh, and i got the official mercedes shop manual on bitorent, god bless the internet. Mercedes really needs to rescan those pages from the book too some better quality images!!!!

Oh,silly me.It's in your public profile. (1985 300SD)

[BC's admonitions apply]

Usually,the lines come off easily if you spray the connecting Nut/Nipple junctions with "Kroil"
(Or some lesser penetrating lubricant) the day before surgery.

The big trick is to check and see if ANYTHING ELSE is held on/connected to
the clamps that hold the lines[at least twice].

You will want to check and see what "Backup" wrench size you need for each
nut connection...Without a second("Backup") wrench holding the nipple hex
you're liable to tear the hex out of the Radiator/Transmission fitting.

Unless you put the front of the automobile up on ramps and drain BOTH the
Torque Converter and Transmission Pan...there will be a slight amount of
seepage.
Unless you try to change out the lines with the engine running (Big No No!)
there will be no Pressure.

No Gaskets, these are Compression Fittings
