So I'm helping my brother tear apart the front end of his crown vic after a small accident he was in, and we've run into a problem. We're working on pulling the radiator out, and there are a few other things attached to it. The first is an oil cooler, and I think the second is power steering. Anyway, there are two hard-lines that connected to what I believe to be the power steering system that we cannot figure out how to disconnect. I've posted a few (bad) pics below.
I've followed the lines in both directions and I can't find anything that looks like a connection, so I think what's pictured is where we need to take it apart. Unfortunately, I've never seen anything like it before. Does anyone know what the hell this is and how I can disconnect these hard-lines so we can pull the radiator assembly out?
Any help would be much appreciated.
