Hi Fred,

The 2.1L oil filler tube inside 13mm nut is tough to access. When disturbing
this crankcase attachment, do the following:

1) Drain the crankcase oil completely.

2) Use a 1/4" drive 13mm socket with a 1/4" drive U-joint and a 1/4" to 3/8"
adapter to a 3/8" drive ratchet. Otherwise it may be impossible to loosen or
tighten this critical fastener.

3) Be sure to coat the new engine oil filler tube gasket with silicone
sealant during re-installation.

Regards,   John
