I'm not sure if Chevy will be able to use it. I have a Ford Edge, and despite the fact that it fit, I ended up purchasing a metal version because the plastic one kept bending and eventually breaking.
It is designed to remove the transmission cooling lines from the bottom of the radiator by pushing the flanges in around the line and expanding the spring, releasing the line and allowing you to pull it back into place.
It could theoretically work, but I wouldn't recommend it. I bought it to replace the radiator in my 2006 Ford Explorer, but it was useless for that purpose, and it hurt my finger. After that, I cut a similar shape out of a piece of relatively hard plastic tube. It only took a few tries to get it to work. Make a financial plan.
Any 3/8 or 1/2 transmission radiator lines should work.

I attempted to make use of the 3/8-inch drill bit. On the transmission fluid disconnects coming off the radiator/cooler on my 2007 Ford F150, I used the right side of the tool. It is said to be the "appropriate tool. " Before using it, I followed the instructions and even watched a demonstration video, but it literally fell apart into three pieces, wouldn't fit in the opening, and didn't work. The lines were a little rusty, but what did you expect? This tool has disappointed me greatly; I expected it to make my job easier, but it has instead made it impossible. Furthermore, the design is terrible; you should be able to exert more force, or force on both sides.
The wrench form was good, but the lines were made with a crimp right at the input (bad design), so it was a bit of a catch 22 here. As a result, rather than a straight line, this tool must fit over the crimp, with the tip of the tool going inside the line socket for release. The tool's small straight end at the tip provides just enough to release the line because the crimp is stuck right at the input of the cooler line socket or radiator, which is bad design again. A straight line allows for full entry and release; however, it took some wiggling to get it to release.
I didn't realize I needed this tool to remove my radiator. br>However, after watching a video about it, I realized that the tool is required to disconnect the transmission coolant lines from the radiator. br>In my case, this is a one-time-use tool that I might as well throw away. br>Because I'm not sure I'll ever use it. br>This tool was inexpensive, but it was difficult to get the lines to release, even though it did the job. It was necessary for me to put in some effort. Twist, twist, twist, twist, twist, twist, twist, twist, twist, twist, twist, twist, twist, twist, twist, twist, twist
Hey. They were successful. It's a must-have for you. It's that simple.
On my 2008 Ford F-150, I'll need this tool to replace the external transmission filter. 250 The filter is an ATP B-type ATP B-type ATP B-type ATP B- Amazon has 359 items for sale. This is a filter that is connected to the outside world. The locking devices on the transmission fluid lines can be pushed back with this tool. br>I couldn't change the filter because of a hand injury. My offer to use my tool was accepted by the mechanic at the shop where I paid to have it changed. He had one that was made of plastic. He was so taken with mine that he went to Amazon and ordered one for himself! I read the reviews before buying, and one of them was negative because the tool didn't work. I'm not sure, but it could have been a case of operator error. My Lisle tools have never let me down in all the years I've used them. I'm a retired large aircraft mechanic who's also spent over 50 years working on automobiles and trucks.
My Ford Explorer is a 2007 model with the four-wheel drive system. Auxillary trans cooler is included in the 6L v8 Limited. This tool was needed to properly remove the lines leading into the radiator (bottom tank). The original equipment adapter (ford radiator) has large brass couplers that require the use of this tool to remove the lines. If you're buying a new radiator, you'll need to do this because the replacements come with different couplers, and the old Ford brass ones will not fit into the new radiator. If you do that, your radiator will be destroyed. As a result, you should make use of this device. On my lines, I use a 1/2" size. Pull and push. Make a stronger effort. Pull. And they'll show up. Take care not to damage the lines or the line's end.
My regular disconnect tools would not work on a Ford, so you'll need this type of tool. The anodizing on the very front part of the fitting that goes into the fitting has been scraped off, and it's also a little rough, indicating some wear and slight deformation of the metal. I don't think these would hold up to heavy use, but they'll suffice for weekend warriors or occasional pro use. If I was going to use it frequently, I'd invest in a more expensive set, preferably from a tool truck, so that I could get them replaced under warranty if they broke.
I tried five different kits that claimed to work on Ford transmission lines, but none of them did. I ended up purchasing this one as well as a plastic one, and they both fit perfectly. br>br>Had trouble removing the transmission cooler line on the driver's side, but the passenger side went in and detached the line perfectly. br>br>After cutting the fitting off and inspecting the lines, it was discovered that the drive side line was thicker than the passenger side line, which is most likely why it did not work no matter how hard it was tried.
For 2003, use a 3/8'' size. Ford Explorer with V8 engine, Ford F150 with V8 engine, and Cadillac CS (2004 and later). br>For Ford Super Duty Trucks, F250, F350, and F450, use 1/2'' size. br>br>A few years ago, I bought an Astro Pneumatic quick disconnect master set and thought I had a pretty good line-removal arsenal. This was not included in the kit, and none of the four local auto parts stores had it on hand. br>br>What is the purpose of having it? br>br>At the time of this review, Ford and some Cadillac vehicles had a different style line going into the radiator than most other manufacturers. I can't speak for Cadillac, but some Ford cooler lines include a plastic safety clip that connects the line's flange to the radiator's quick connect fitting. THIS IS WHY THIS TOOL IS SO IMPORTANT FOR YOU. The flange and the fitting are very close together. The stair-stepped design can be seen if you look closely at the tool. I tried every other tool I had before figuring out how to close the tool around the line without interfering with the cooler line's flange. This was done in a matter of seconds. br>br> It's sturdy, easy to use, and the perfect size; it'll last as long as I work as a mechanic. If your service manual specifies a Ford 307, use that one. This is the 441 tool.
