I am having trouble removing the bolts connecting the transmission lines to the radiator. Not sure, but the unscrew seems to be clockwise on the large bolt and I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE FEMALE INNER BOLT IS SCREWED OUT CLOCKWISE, THANKS, MICHAEL

Everything is threaded normally, lefty loosie, righty tighty.

They can be a bear to loosen. Are you replacing your radiator? If not, you are just taking off the cooler tubing for maybe a flush, if you are using the same radiator, if the larger nut has turned any, you may have to reseal with threads with compound when reassembling the large fitting into the radiator side, if the original thread compound was disturbed, then you may run the risk of leaking coolant into the transmission down the road.
