My kit is waiting install, but I believe I came across mention that it will take a right angle drill to complete the install.

here check this thread out about the Woods reloc kit. I think its 49bucks but not sure. I would relocate it if you've already damaged it once, why put it back in same placed with a $99 skid? and buy the evap from dealer and do it all yourself

When I bring up the link none of the pictures show up. Only red x's.

This was the case on both my work and home computers.

for 99bucks it still leaves it hanging down waiting to get ripped off, people have had them completely ripped off, gone and lost in a mud hole, or lost in the rocks....yeah maybe the bolts for the skid might be stronger but why leave it there for more then it costs to move it?

For one, try getting warranty work done on it if you move it. Sure, the dealer has to "prove" you didn't cause the malfunction, but good luck!

Nothing wrong with moving it. I'm just miffed when someone dis's my decision to protect it instead. To each their own!

I'm sorry but if it gets ripped off with that skid plate installed you probably have bigger problems to worry about than replacing a $63 canister.
