Can't get belt off???

No point in drilling my skid plate as it still has to come off in order to remove the oil filter.
Thanks Cannondale that is pretty much what I did but i also elevated the front end so it poured right through hole.

Lol...sometimes we just can't win...

Nope lol. I meant through hole in the right foot hold for the oil tank to drain. I want the added protection of the full skid plate, only drawback pain in the #*$&@ to take off lol.

Lol...that's why I didn't get it. It's hard enough to get the hood off I didn't want it to be hard to get the skid plate.

I know the book says take the hood off during the oil change but I didn't oops. lol

Lol....

That sucks

What si the point of taking the hood off? Is it to disconnect the harness during the oil change? I never did that on my nytro

Lol...just so you can take out the breather in the valve cover...

 

[Nytro40th]

I do not need to take the hood off to take the breather cap off lol I can reach my hand in there.

Got it off in 2 minutes without wrench. So easy I feel like a real dumb sss. What is this about breathet valve? I didn't take hood off to change oil either but didn't mess with no breather valve. Didn't see that in manual.

 

[Nytro40th]

There is a breather cap on the valve cover.

I did exactly the way cannondale27 did it for changing oil....worked great and zero mess.

Are you supposed to open breather cap after oil change? Where exactly is it? What if you don't open it?

I don't really think it a big deal, its on the I guess head/valve cover And it's on the exhaust side and at the end of the block and it's a little threaded cap. Probably for it to breath and allow more oil to drain. Or something like that...lol....I wouldn't worry about it if you didn't take it off, no worries!!
