I have a 2014 T&C with leaking transmission oil cooler lines. As a hobby, this year I started doing a lot of my own auto repairs, so I was thinking of replacing the lines myself. Surprisingly the lines are very accessible and it doesn't look like there's too much to the job. Having never done it though, I wanted to ask those that have... Is there anything specific to watch out for on this job? (Short of replacing any lost fluid) Do these lines need to be bled or anything after replacing them? Or does it not matter if air enters the system? Thanks in advance for any feedback!

This is a very straight forward job, a good one to start with if your are new to auto repairs.
While you can do this job using a small pick to remove the "Jiffy tite" wire retainers, there is special tool made for it if you are interested:

A factory set of these lines are cheap from Ebay, no need to mess around trying to repair yours.

Loose where? The jiffy tite connections will always swivel as they ride on an O'ring and are only held in with a wire clip.
