OEM 2010 Cadillac STS Transmission Oil Cooler Hose

2010 Cadillac STS Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: Is it necessary to discharge the refrigerant from the air conditioning system to replace the front Transmission Oil Cooler Hose on 2010 Cadillac STS?

  A: The front transmission fluid cooler pipe replacement procedure can be performed without releasing the refrigerant from your air conditioning system. You must do two things before working on the Transmission Oil Cooler lines. The first step is to remove the condenser bolts then move the condenser out of the way to access the lines. The j 44827 (Transmission Cooler Quick Connect) tool enables users to disconnect toc lines from the toc before removing the bolt which joins the toc line to the cooling Fan Shroud and the bolts on the Radiator support bracket. Proceed by disconnecting the front Transmission Oil Cooler line from both the rear Transmission Oil Cooler line and Radiator while using j 44827 to free the lines. Position the Radiator in a backward direction to remove the front toc lines. The installation should begin by mounting front toc lines before connecting front lines to rear lines and Radiator. Reinstall the front toc lines before you secure them to both the Transmission Oil Cooler and the Radiator. Then reposition the Radiator. Start by tightening the Radiator support bracket bolts to 9 nm torque while ending the procedure by securing the toc line bolts on the cooling Fan Shroud to 6.5 nm torque. Reinstall the condenser as the last step.
