• Q: How to replace the rear transmission oil cooler hose on a rear-wheel drive on 2008 Cadillac SRX?

  A: The replacement procedure of the rear transmission fluid cooler pipe in rear-wheel drive vehicles begins with removing the engine Oil Filter and left-hand front wheel after which comes the removal of left-hand front splash shield retainers and splash shield. You need the transmission cooler quick connect (J 44827) to disconnect front transmission oil cooler lines from rear lines before you can remove the rear line to transmission retainer bolt so you can disconnect rear lines from the transmission. Remove both o-rings after discarding them and then extract the toc retainer bracket bolt. The operations to remove the retainer bracket require access to the toc lines by repositioning them followed by drilling out the bracket rivets. The procedure for installation starts with toc lines installation followed by retainer bracket installation to complete with riveting the bracket onto the lines. Render the toc retainer bracket bolt installation complete by torquing it to 25 n.m (18 lb ft). The procedure requires installing fresh o-rings on the rear toc lines which need attachment to transmission before leveraging the retainer bolt to secure the lines while tightening to 25 n.m (18 lb ft). The toc lines from the front need to be joined to the lines at the rear before reinstalling the left-hand front splash shield and its retainers and reattaching the left-hand front wheel. The conclusion of the procedure includes filter reinstallation.
