Remove or Disconnect:

1. Pipe, by removing wire retaining clip as follows:

B. Using a 90 degree bent tip tool (or other suitable tool); pull other side of clip away and down from fitting as shown in Figure 1.

IMPORTANT:
DO NOT reuse wire retaining clips. You must replace the clip after removal.

NOTICE:
DO NOT install the new clip by attempting to push both sides of clip on at the same time. Refer to Figure 3. The resulting stress may weaken its ability to hold the pipe securely, resulting in loss of engine oil and subsequent damage to the engine.

3. Insert new wire retaining clip as follows:

A. Insert one side of clip into fitting as shown in Figure 4.

B. Rotate clip around fitting as shown in Figure 5.

C. Make sure that the other side of the clip snaps into place as shown in Figure 6.

4. Insert cooler pipe into fitting by pushing until click is heard, then pull back on pipe to insure the pipe is locked.





5. Using a flashlight, look inside fitting and verify all three indents of wire retaining clip can be seen. Refer to Figure 7. This MUST be done to insure pipe is correctly held in fitting.
