Just left it at ride height, and blocked the rear so it wouldn't fall on me, and crawled under....plenty of room. I have to say that without encouragement from Tom, Richard and Michael, who seem to be fearless when it comes to taking care of this important maintenance stuff I would be reluctant to try it myself. When Tom found coolant in his canister it put the fear in me to take care of this simple procedure. This is how you avoid major engine failure...take care of the small stuff, be proactive, find the problems when they are small, and affordable. I know it cost Tom several thousand dollars to fix his problem, but had he not done the routine checking it would have cost $10-15,000 when he suffered catestrophic engine failure, maybe on the trip he took to Texas recently.
