How to remove new style trans. coupler? V70-XC70 2001

Hi All,

With the transmission fluid on my 2001 V70XC looking pretty brown (at 30k miles!), I'm looking into flush procedures. I've run into some good information from fellow bricksters, but the transmission line to radiator coupling style appears to have changed from that used on the 850. Instead of the clip you pop off (as shown nicely on the Bay13 site), the whole pipe slides into a largish diameter sleeve built into the radiator, and there is a plastic split cylindrical insert that fits between the radiator sleeve and the pipe itself.

So, how to remove this beasty? Presumably, the split sleeve is removed first, but right now I'm not going to just yank it out with a pair of pliers! Any special tools required? Also, any "consumables", such as O-rings, clips, etc. that should be changed when disturbing this connection?

Thanks in advance!

Greg
