tommyac3 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I would like to change the oil myself on my GX 470. In order to get easier access to the filter I understand that it helps to remove the front skidplate. Two bolts on the plate appear to be stripped, they spin round and round but never come out. I have heard this is a common problem and there was a service notice out on this issue. Has anyone else faced this and is there a solution?

xxstewart Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Sounds as if an oil change grease monkey was overly aggressive with an impact wrench. The existing bolts are probably 10mm. The nuts on the chassis are press-ins, and probably not easy to replace. You may be able to drill them out to a larger size and re-tap them to an M12, and buy M12 bolts.
