2002 Buick LeSabre Transmission Oil Cooler Hose Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the Transmission Oil Cooler Hose on 2002 Buick LeSabre?

  A: A replacement of transmission fluid cooler hose/pipe requires the cooler quick connect tool (J41623-B) as your primary tool. Supporting the vehicle at the appropriate height and putting a drain pan below will start the process. Loosen the transaxle retainer which secures the oil cooler hose followed by sliding away white plastic covers from the quick connections. The cooler quick connect tool (J41623-B) enables you to separate the transaxle oil cooler hoses from the transaxle and the Radiator during the procedure. The new transaxle oil cooler hoses must be installed into the Radiator quick connect fittings at which point a "click" sound will be audible before performing a gentle tug to verify proper installation. After installing the hoses in the transaxle quick connect fittings through white plastic covers the user should hear a "click" sound then perform delicate tugs to ensure correct retention. The technician performs these steps: they replace the white plastic covers at transaxle connections, then install the transaxle oil cooler hose retainer along with lowering the vehicle to fill the transaxle with proper fluid and finish by inspecting fluid level while checking for leaks.
