What did you do with the front fender?

 

Here you go Berry
I took the front bumper off and changed the tip light cover Thats all.

 

Get yourself a FACTORY service manual, and I guess about $20K in quality tools, and dig in to that bad girl Ultra! Just kidding about the $20K.....but you will need a good quality tool set.....I would not get anything of lesser quality than craftsman though......oh and you may as well get yourself a good jack....like the craftsman yellow or red....or even a Handy brand lift!

 

Just a little thought, I do not wait for 5,000 miles for an oil change. Do it @ 2,500 or 3,000.

Maybe this will help someone else.&nbsp\\; I used to have a mess everytime I took the filter off when changing oil, but I started using a 2 liter pop bottle to build an oil catch pan and it works awesome (maybe I read the idea here?).&nbsp\\; Take the 2 liter bottle, cut the bottom end off, then cut about 1/2 the bottle off long ways but leave the cap.&nbsp\\; When you go to remove the filter, make sure you have a wrench that slips over the end and takes a 3/8" ratchet.&nbsp\\; Slip the oil catcher (remnants of the 2 liter bottle) up under the filter and hold tight.&nbsp\\; After you remove the filter, you should catch all the oil in the catch.&nbsp\\; When done, you can dump the oil from the catch and keep it for next time, or discard it and ge ta new one next time!

&nbsp\\; Welcome to the "Pirate" side of the street.&nbsp\\; Get a service manual and take your time.&nbsp\\; Get a basic set of handtools and then buy your speacial tools as required after you read he book and then plan out your maintance apporach.&nbsp\\;Anywhere that you can change out your torx head screws for allen heads I always do that.&nbsp\\; Less chance of stripping allens and easier to torque with a good set of allen sockets.&nbsp\\; Oil changes, every one has their way of changing oil as you will if you keep doing it.&nbsp\\;Listen to the ideas everyone has and go with what works for you. I have resigned mysel to cleaning up the little mess that is left with the oil filter and not worry about it.&nbsp\\; Good luck.
