Abstract
A system for aligning and connecting a threaded male fastener for securing an oil line to a correspondingly threaded female fastener at the inlet of an oil cooler in a radiator tank has a guide sleeve having a cylindrical internal surface and a central axis adapted to be aligned with a central axis of the female fastener, and a guide member having a cylindrical external surface and a central axis adapted to be aligned with a central axis of the other of the male fastener. The guide member cylindrical external surface is slidingly and rotatably movable with respect to the guide sleeve cylindrical internal surface. The guide member is adapted to be slid into the guide sleeve, such that the threaded male and female fasteners may be coaxially aligned and contacted, and the guide member may be rotated with respect to the guide sleeve so that threads of the male fastener engage threads of the female fastener.
