Heat usually works. Remember it can't be stuck if it's liquid!

I was wondering if you had a channel, glad I found it.

Those Ford cooler lines look good in your ear lobes.

I saw a young lady under a 98 expedition in Walsenburg Colorado. It was about 100 degrees out. She had fuel tank laying on ground. 2 doggos in back one pregnant. Looked straight homicidally 😡 😤 hangry. Asked her if fuel pump went out. Yep. Already bought new pump. Not assembly. Just pump. But needed that quick release tool to get lines off. Didn’t look at it. Was on my motorcycle melting. Went into town & bought her that same tool to get her going back down the road to Oklahoma. Her hubby (a auto mechanic) came & got kids but left her there with dogs in deadly heat.

Walsenburg has some harsh weather, every time I drive through I always think “this would be a horrible place to break down” love the area though, the sangre de cristos are some of the most beautiful mountains I’ve ever seen.

You know what works on disconnects? A sharpie pen, cut to length and split it down one side

ATF is Highly Flammable !!

Make sure you have a line open somewhere else whenever you do that because the liquid inside the line needs a place to go when it heats up. Taking the cap off might be enough but I’m not sure.

Love your channel.Your a good man

Ford has entered the chat

Thanks for the help. I watch your videos every day. Far superior to those bad advice Hashtag videos if you know what I mean. You know, the shop I work for didn't have a torch until I brought my own. Didn't understand how they got by for so long without one. I use it all the time. Bolts, ball joints, brakes and more.

Like a gas line on top the fuel pump you can buy those tool packs of multiple sizes for less than $10... Makes it so much easier

Mike your awesome, always informative

I have the lisle tool for the fords works great just did two f350 always rotted here in Maine

Bro you just saved my ass on this one ,,been messing with these damn things half the morning

One popped off with ease, the other is a stubborn sob! Same one that broke off. Will try this

I cut open a sharpie to the size I need and it works just fine

Good advice as usual 👌👍

Damn, Mike you are a brave man. I’m gonna have to wait until I can get that tool. 🤣

Good tip many don't know the retainer clip is plastic

Thanks for the tip 👍

That is awesome. Thank you very much I will try that I have been having a problem getting mine off of my Is Ram.

I love your channel man shit is so informative and interesting

The shark bite of fittings 😂

Omg I can’t believe it it works😅 after a weekend of fighting this and 60 bucks in special tools this was wayyy easier 😅

I got one off with a piece of aluminum I cut from can but the other one I had to cut up into pieces to save my sanity and time and just put a hose clamp and worked perfectly fine.

Bro ur like a tool that we all need lol thanks for the knowledge that video with the Ford fuckus air filter was dope

Instructions unclear, car caught fire

Just remember aluminum lines will melt with a propane torch.

Great tip

Great idea Mike.

You know, it’s sad that you have to use that disclaimer at the end!😂

There’s lots of times you can use heat and keep a part for later, so for the average driveway mechanic it’s needed. Never underestimate a person’s need to save money on a project, and do desperate things.

I just did my radiator replacement on a 2004 Ford F150, XLT super crew and exactly you need that tool

That is a great tip, thanks.

Mac truck has a round disconnect for they, they ate purple, don't have number with me, been doing Trans for 23 years and this is the best toil for that I have found

You saved my day.

I mean I’m not the smartest man in the world and I’m not trying to be rude or anything… But you have the removal tools in your ears😂😂😂😂😂

Been there THANKS

Works just as well on gas line quick connects! Some side effects possible however.... (this is a joke folks, it will blow up in your face and burn your house down, your car up, and scorch your fuzzy dice...)

Me: Oh, this should be interesting Me later: Sounds like another good tip coming *Blowtorch comes into view* Me: OH HELL NO! 😱😆 Good luck getting all that melted-on plastic removed without damaging the pipe for a leak-free fit of the replacement lines 😏😅

Hell yea I thought I was the only guy that did that

Those fucking fittings kick my ass every time 😢. I have gone as far as unscrewing the fittings from radiator and re using them on new radiator

It's stuff like this that makes me appreciate being able to just loosen a worm clamp on a rubber hose on the older cars.

Doorman has an aftermarket part for the lines that make it easy to get off.

wait until you do a 2013 GMC pickup. Thought ohh couple hrs in and out with a service. Had to take the drivers side motor mount out and jack the driver side of the engine up to sqweeze it out.

For once, I 100% DISAGREE with this man..... DO NOT USE FLAME ON ANYTHING WITH TRANSMISSIIN FLUID IN IT!!!! Trans fluid is highly flammable.

Yeahhh get the torch!!!

You could repost this under "how to access the transmission fluid for replacement of so called lifetime fluid" 😂 😂 😂

Dammit Mike I tried this trick I needed to replace my fuel rail tried this and caught the car on fire!

I bought that tool thank god i've never used it yet😅

Cool trick buddy

Another Monday at the garage.

Instructions unclear, burnt down whole community

Yup been there dun that

What is it just melting the seal and expanding the metal? Seems like a good trick in a pinch

Love the content, hate the pink earrings..... just sayin....😁

Absolutely not trying to be a keyboard warrior or disagree with this video. Please be advised that transmission fluid is extremely flammable. And if brake cleaner or other penetrating fluids are used prior to resorting to heat, those are extremely flammable too. Hence the disclaimer of do at your own risk!

Please do a video on changing a radiator in a 2007 ford fusion.

So generally speaking instead of a heat torch, can u get away w/ using a heat gun for stubborn bolts or removing fittings like this by just holding it a little longer? I’d assume using a torch when there is an active oil leak would almost definitely start a fire, or that only if it’s an active leak that has the engine damn near drenched?

This is exactly how I do it when they are being a pain in assss.

Don't you still need to get that fitting apart? I'm confused.

And when you're done use the torch to take a humungo dab

Hey Mike.....can you change a steering column on a ford f150 and not reprogram the key?

just wrap a wet rag over the metal crimp and rubber section and it should be fine to reuse

What is the tool brand for those cooler line removers? I have like 5 sets and none work well

I have done the same thing

You think this would work with the fuel lines? :)

Looks like a basic quick disconnect tool. What's the gig?

@autotechmike , What torch do you recommend and use? I’m a new tech and need to buy one start my new job soon.

I have a 2003 f350 7.3. If one line was disconnected overnight without being clamped how much ATF would I lose? Asking cause of a recent conversation with someone. We're having a debate lol. Do you only lose what's in the line or do you lose way more?

I would love to work for this guy

Pull Pressure and a pick. Works great

I never understood the desperate need to make simple things so difficult.

Only in the rust belt right 🤷‍♂️

What car was this on

Ahhh the old Gator Clamps ! Ran into them first time I worked on my ranger back in the day ... Kinda like modern shark bite for plumbing..👍

If they were only made like hydraulic hose quick disconnects... You wouldn't need a special tool for removal!

Screw whoever made those quick connects the status quo. Hate fucking with those things. Hate that the disconnect tool takes up space in my toolbox as well.

I just dealt with these the other day plastic fittings are way better imo

Glad its not me.

I would advice not. Iv had compression fittings explode in my face before from heat. Where the rubber meets the stainless.

WD 40 does the trick

Pretty sweet hack. It’s sad they come apart that easy though. What happened to lines being crimped onto barbed fittings?

@matthewyates3230

They dont come apart. Thats the problem. But still end up leaking where the rubber connects to the fitting. Total POS

Mike how do I contact you regarding a question on my ford ranger rust bucket kind of new England vehicle please let me know

Don't worry I have one Ford that's given me enough grief that it's likely I'll never own another one.

Not flamible or combustible at all so it's totally safe.

Very dangerous because the hydraulic fluid and its vaporous could simultaneously combust. Also, he should have gloves on any face shield. Lastly, hydraulic fluid should be totally emptied out of the system. But smart people will get the right tool for the job.

Very carefully, use your meth pipe torch, it comes right off.

NO!!!? Apart from the fact your diff/gearbox oil will run out, the CV's are Major locating points for the front end, without you are relying on just the tie rods to keep the wheels straight, and the hubs are holding your wheel on to the suspension. I'd suggest you don't work on cars until you get alot more knowledge, you'll kill yourself and others

Lost the tool for ford fuel lines so for the past 3 motors I’ve pull I’ve used plumbers tape

Can’t remove them, cut off with grinder. Got it. Junkyard dude.
