    Is there a trick to taking off the filler plug on the drive shaft? I want to change the oil and I can't get that darn plug off. Any tips would be very appreciated!

    Thanks..

    I am an idiot (no news there). I was trying to take off the breather valve. No issues here anymore [​IMG].

    Be careful putting the plugs back in. Only 15 Newton Meters on the tiny drain plug when you put it back in. 50 Newton Meters on the big fill plug.
