Jay P Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hi. I would like to know if there's a special tool or an easy way to remove those annoying pins that hold the engine covers down. I can get the covers off by lifting up, but those pins seem to fly everywhere. Also, where is the oil filter located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartkat Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I changed my pins for some more sturdy ones I bought at NAPA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetoskico Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I changed my pins for some more sturdy ones I bought at NAPA. Bartkat, which pins did you buy at Napa? I stopped by Lexus parts and picked a few for about $3.50 a piece!!! Am hoping to run over to Pepboys or Kragens to pick something more durable up.

I got ones that have a pin in the middle that you pull up to release and push down to lock. The tops are a little bigger around than the originals and none of them have broken. I had trouble with the prongs breaking on the originals. I got two bags and had some to spare. They are also a little longer where they go through the holes.
