Fluid Cooler Lines

Tube Fittings

When fluid leakage is found at the oil cooler, the cooler must be replaced. Refer to Section 03-03 for coolant replacement procedure.

When one or more of the fluid cooler steel tubes must be replaced, each replacement tube must be fabricated from the same size steel tubing as the original line.

Using the old tube as a guide, bend the new tube as required. Add the necessary fittings, and install the tube.

After the fittings have been tightened to specification, add fluid as needed and check for fluid leaks.

NOTE: Some vehicles come equipped with double flare threaded fittings. For these vehicles service as outlined under threaded fittings.
