Radiator compression fitting
#1
![Default](https://www.cherokeeforum.com/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Looking for any any advice on removing the trans compression fitting to radiator. Trying to replace it and can't get the damn thing off. I tried the compression removal tool and it just broke to pieces (cheap plastic from Harbor Freight). Is it fairly simple to just replace if I simply cut the line?

If so, here's the tool you'll need (available at Advance Auto Parts and I've seen kits at Harbor Freight having this 5/16" tool.

I recently replaced my radiator and I used this tool:

It was only $5.00 at my local O'Reilly and it worked amazingly well. Yesterday I pulled my cylinder head and I used the same tool to disconnect the fuel line from the rail. Again, it worked really well. Easy peasy.
