  Q: How to replace the rear Transmission Oil Cooler Hose on Cadillac XLR?

  A: The first step to change the rear Transmission Oil Cooler (TOC) pipe requires appropriately elevating and supporting the vehicle. First separate the driveline tunnel closeout panel before cutting the front TOC inlet and outlet lines away from the rear TOC inlet and outlet lines and using caps or plugs to prevent contamination through the open TOC pipes. The TOC block fitting bolt should be removed from the transmission housing so the operator can rotate the block fitting to expose the upper TOC pipe. Disconnect both TOC pipes from the transmission while cap or plug the TOC pipes before releasing the transmission fittings. Extract the forward and rear TOC pipe bracket bolts together with their brackets before pulling out the TOC pipes from the vehicle. Install the TOC pipes into proper position before fastening the rear TOC pipe bracket bolt to 12 N.m (9 lb ft). Fasten the forward TOC pipe bracket together with its bolt after tightening them to 12 N.m (9 lb ft). Attach upper and lower TOC pipes to the transmission after removing their caps or plugs and rotatate the TOC block fitting to fasten the upper pipe. Fasten the TOC block fitting bolt to the transmission housing while torquing it to 25 N.m (18 lb ft). After restoring the driven front TOC inlet and outlet connections to the back inlets and outlets, install the driveline closeout panel before lowering the car and inspecting its transmission fluid level for necessary additions.
