I removed the line from the transmission and at the top of the check valve housing. There are line separators that unclip easily when removing the one line. I then put the check valve hose assembly in a vise and was able to remove the aluminum line from it. I used a real long screwdriver to knock out the RUBBER check valve ball out of the pipe. I knocked it out in the same direction the spring pushed. I then pushed out the spring till I could get it with long nose pliers. There is also a little metal band that was behind the spring I removed the same way. Now I have the check valve removed at zero cost. The tube was going to cost me $60. 00 to make. Pretty quick fix.
