Second that. I don't have to jack it up. I guess the monkey arms pay off. I do remove the whole air deflector, though - makes it easier to access the filter, plus allows for easier inspection of the CV boots.

Slap on some H&Rs, and then try and do it without a jack/ramps.

I'm skinny as hell and I have pretty long arms... but I can't see how to get to the filter and drain plug without jacks or ramps.
