See Figure 3-27. The oil lines used in the Precision Cooling System incorporate flanged oil lines and quick connect fittings. Quick connect fittings can be separated using either the OIL LINE REMOVER, 1/2 INCH (Part No. HD-46503) or OIL LINE REMOVER, 3/8 INCH (Part No. HD-49096).
Figure 3-27. Flanged oil line and remover
1. Close the OIL LINE REMOVER over the oil line. Match the notches in the tool flange to the U-bends in the retainer clip.
2. Rotate the tool to expand the spring clip.
3. Use finger and thumb to hold the OIL LINE REMOVER squarely against the fitting to keep the spring clip expanded. Use only enough pressure to hold the tool square. Excess pressure will prevent simultaneously pulling the line and tool from the fitting.
4. Pull the oil line and the tool from the fitting.
5. Apply a light film of clean engine oil to the oil line. This eases assembly and prevents damage to the connector O-ring.
6. To assemble, push the oil line squarely into quick connect fitting to connect.
