Remove coolant line fitting

[Majinmunkey]

The plastic part of this part of the coolant line that runs to the overflow snapped and I have a new one coming. Just curious how this T is removed. Looks like there's some sort of retaining clip around the base.

Put a hook behind the wire at the yellow arrow and pull in the direction of the red arrow.

Then the fitting just pulls up.

It's the bigger version of the trans cooler lines. As Gregj showed, just pull the clip out and then lift the fitting off.

Pull the retaining clip back then lift up on the plastic fitting. I replaced mine last week and it was pretty tough to get to come up and to reseat, especially trying to be careful not to lean on any other plastic parts while doing so.

And yet another.. I had the exact same issue and realized this is far too common. This is terrible, at this point this should be a recall or warranty extension repair.
