Howdy,

In the process of replacing a leaky A/T cooler hose. I replaced the wrong one last week and it was a snap. This one will not come off. No matter how much pressure I put into it. There are two nuts where it disconnects and the smaller of the nuts has been stripped or bent or something.

Anyway, got two questions about this. Any tips for getting this stubborn one off?

2nd question is just beyond the cooler hose the line turns metal and runs along the oil pan thought a clamp or something. There was some type of rubber part there that stopped the line from bouncing around a lot when the engine is running. That rubber part was dust when I touched it. Anyone know the replacement part number for that or a easy fix.

Thanks!
