Default Leaky radiator, need help with replacing.

Hey guys, new to the site here. Just bought a 95 blazer a couple months ago. Theres a crack in the radiator and it inconsistently leaks after I drive and shut the motor off. I will be buying a new radiator and replacing it myself. My question is, how do I unscrew or undo the oil and tranny cooler lines that go in to the sides of the radiator? Can I take a wrench and just loosen it up and then pull the lines out or? Dont wanna damage the lines so any advice is greatly uprecciated!

I believe there's a little clip that holds the lines in, just pop it off with and they should pull out.

Its Easy..Just unscrew the oil cooler and trans. lines from the Radiator fittings..those big fittings already come with the new radiator.

Thanks for the prompt reply, you guys are quick! You know, thats what I figured, but wasnt sure. I gave it a little twist at first and it didnt budge so I didnt wanna break the line. Then posted here and thats what you guys reconfirmed had to be done. With a little more force I unscrewed the lines. Will replace rad this week. Thanks again for all the help guys.
