Transmission Hose Lines
These two transmission hose assemblies connect from the transmission case to the radiator. The trick to removing these from the circuit is by first removing the retainer rings around the nuts (covered with plastic protectors), then pull off the quick disconnect tubings, the nuts are removed last. Removing the fittings attached to the radiator is simple and easier to follow.I changed the seals inside the nuts and those on the tubings as well with OR-012 (O-RING BUNA-N 70 DURO 3/8 IN ID 1/2 IN OD 1/16 IN WALL). This was done on a Chrysler Sebring 2005 DOHC 4 CYL.
I should have repaired/rebuilt the hose assemblies since I dug this deep, but it was getting dark and there were no leaks visible. Hose assemblies have a service life of about five years, especially for petroleum based lines like these, but it is not uncommon to see cars with hoses that are over ten years old.
Installation was much easier. You can avoid accidentally cross threading if you screw in the nuts first to the tranny case, then insert the quick disconnect tubing, retainer rings follow, then the plastic cover last.
Take your old brake tubings, brake hoses, clutch lines, transmission lines, air conditioning hoses and engine oil hose assemblies here, . . .

1986 Detroit Grand Prix
It's almost midnight, and you could be watching porn. Instead, you are watching the 1986 DETROIT GRAND PRIX.
I was reading an RSS subscription, I later ended up watching this video after several clicks. Check out the original pace car recently sold on eBay and the Car & Driver article I found | http://ebay.com/itm/262217691139 | http://blog.caranddriver.com/treasure-of-the-sierra-ebay-merkur-xr4ti-pace-car-for-sale/
Bust A Nut
A while back someone installed the WRONG nut. Now, it was time to take it out. I even used the LE 2059 penetrating oil to loosen up the nut, one of the best in the industry, but even that didn't work. Next, the pneumatic chisel, . . .
Diminishing Skills
I was working on a part for a 1969 Corvette right around Christmas. Practice, practice, practice, . . . braze welding is a diminishing skill. This holds true as with other skills, you may lose them over time without practice.
