This is what i had to do to change the oil and filter;
Take the mufflers out;
Take the front header off;
Take the side cover off, it has a stupid internal filter and it is impossible to remove any other way!!
 
The rocket is a piece of cake compared to this thing!

Yes it is, if he has any questions give me a buzz, i just became an expert on the subject, it took me 3 hours with one hand, it will take him a good hour with both hands
 
Had a 2001 Dodge Intrepid, had to take the front wheel off to get to the battery......

Carn Mex be honest - It took 3hrs 'cos you were lifting those weights with your broke hand while changing the oil with the other...
 
Get the adaptor kit that allows you to do it without removing everything.
