Then disconnect the soft hose from the hard line slowly. Once disconnected, connect the one end of the
3/8” hose to the hard line. Plug the soft transmission line with one of your 7/16” bolts. Once the bolt is in

Now, clamp down on the other soft transmission line. Loosen the hose clamp using a 6mm socket. Then
disconnect the soft hose from the hard line slowly. Once disconnected, connect the other end of the 3/8”
hose to the hard line. Insert the 7/16” bolt into the soft transmission line and release the pinch-off pliers.

cradle. Use a 13mm socket to remove the 2 nuts per side. Once the bracket is out, remove the rubber
bushing as well. You may discard the bracket and the rubber bushing, but keep the nuts for reinstallation.
