I have a 1993 ford taurus 3.8L V6 automatic GL. I need to replace my radiator and am having trouble disconnecting the “transmission lines” from the radiator. I don’t know is I need a special tool to remove them or if they can be removed with just a regular wrench. I can I be sure?

Your local auto parts store should sell a kit such as this to remove the tranny lines from the radiator.
