transmission cooler lines

transmission cooler lines
2007 Equinox LT AWD
After exchanging the transmission fluid I noticed the cooler lines had a significant amount of rust and looked quite brittle.
Going to replace the lines and exchange the transmission fluid again. Will exchange the fluid a 3rd time. This is a process I have read about on Honda forums regarding my Odyssey. Figured I would also apply to my Equinox.
Was able to find the T-IV ATF at Toyota for $5.34 a quart. Didn't even check a GM dealer and I have heard it runs at least $17 a quart.
Anyone complete the transmission cooler line replacement? Any feedback and tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I recommend removing the transmission end of the hose assembly first to allow the fluid to drain out. It's less messy than removing the radiator ends first. When reinstalling the new hose assembly, install the clips into the radiator fittings first. Then push the lines into the fitting. You'll hear a click when each hose locks in place. I've attached instructions below in case you need them.

My local public library offers free access to an online auto repair database for it's members. The database has repair procedures, wiring diagrams, and TSBs/recalls which can be downloaded as PDFs. Your local library might offer something similar.
