I started the car and held 2K for about 20 seconds. I was concerned that while I was under the car with it still running, that the temp would climb too high. I should have checked the temp but everything was getting hot under there, so I just filled it until it started to come out and installed the plug.

The oil lines are held in with just one bolt, #1 in the photo below. I used an 8 mm closed end wrench, which worked fine. Anything that is a 12 point, such as a socket or closed end wrench will work. I did not have a 12 point 8 mm socket, so I used a wrench.

Once the bolt is out, the clamp moves freely and the lines just pull out of the trans. After the passenger side clamp is removed, there is a lot of play to move the lines out of the way. My third photo from my original post shows the lines out of the way with the pressure filter removed.

I hope this helps.
