should only take you 1-1 1/2 hr..that's it..that's how long it took me to did mine the first time..and that was at 30 some k..now it's 36k..just turn it slowly with lil force..Turn Left to loosen and Right to tighten..

mine bolt was kindna tight when I loosen it so I tight it down like it take me about an 1 and half

^^told u..

out with the old and in with the new

new bolts

old bolts

that's how mine looked when i took them out..

So what's the deal. Do the new ones last longer? Do you ever have to change them again after you install the new style?

Yea the newer style were redesigned to last longer or somethin like that. Last I heard you were supposed ot change them every 15k or so to be safe?

Holly, that's crazy!

The 6 and 7 bolts was a bitch and take the longest. otherwise it's easy. Just make sure everything line up right when you put it back or else oil will leak
