Default patching transmission coolant lines E4OD

Hello,

I'm in the process of changing out my radiator and cannot get my transmission coolant lines off. The nuts holding it down are completely stripped.

Is there a process that can be used to patch the lines? Like cut it at a certain point and put a new fitting on it? If there is, I might just get an extra transmission cooler also while I'm at it.

I have a 91 F250 with an E4OD transmission.

Thanks!

I have seen where the correct size hose that could handle high temp and was oil resistant (like fuel line hose) was inserted with double clamps and it held up quite well.

Thanks!

I got the process now.

Really easy.

Cut, Flair, put on pressure hose, two clamps, and the needed fitting on the other end.
