ATI accessing drain plug
How have you ATI owners managed to access the magnetic drain plug under the blower? I changed the oil yesterday using the syringe to suction the oil out. But, the manual indicates to also remove and clean the magnetic drain plug. Short of removing some of the plumbing, I don't see any way to get to it. Any tips would be appreciated.

I got underneath the car, and used a baggy to get most of the oil, but it is messy..You need a very long reg screw driver ...You don't need to remove anything Good luck :)

Re: ATI accessing drain plug (JTE)
the first kits required you to get to the plug from underneath, a very difficut and messy job, especially for a guy with bigger arms. Now ATI supplies a suction tube to get the fluid out. Those of you who recieved the first kits should call up ATI and have this sent out to you. It look like a big saringe.

They all came with suction tubes. you still have to clean the bottom drain plug I used a long screw driver and rino ramps
