I haven't broken any of the clips. All it takes is a phillips head screw driver that you turn by hand, and a small amount of patience. I did have to apply a bit of pressure under the mushroom head of one of the fittings last time with a flat bladed screw driver, while turning the screw with the phillips head. No special tools are needed at all.No. Seems kind of dumb to have to remove a rubber flap with clips that break to get to the filter though.
The internet is filled with people talking smack about things they have no experience with. Don't be one of those people. It helps nobody.
Hmm. That sucks. I'll bet you could slip some sort of tube, maybe a short section of garden hose, over the end of the trough to direct the flow into your drain pan?Since I have to work on ramps, the oil runs down the frame, aft. I'm not sure if the trough is working as it is supposed to in that configuration. It might work better if you have a lift or a maintenance pit. It's not that big of a deal to clean up and I figure the residue rusts proof that area, I don't think that it's that big of a deal beyond not always properly guessing where the oil is going to spill out.
