Can not get quick disconnect line to release out of the transmission on 1997 ford ranger

The quick conect lines can sometime be hard to get the springs to release. First of all you need to make sure you have the proper tool and size that will fit inside of the connection. Then sometimes you might have to slightly take a small hammer and lightly tap the release tool up into the quick connect to release the spring. This usually works for me. But you must have the proper tool to do this.
