well I'm almost done with my set up. but I need to take out the stock fpr by the rear wheel.first this thing is on there tight!! but my question is: once it is removed, what did you guys use to plug in the hole where it sits? just a regular screw? Thanks.

^^ that's what i did, just make sure you use 2 open end wrenches to loosen the bolts on either side. i think they're banjo fittings. if you try and only loosen it w/ one wrench, you'll bend the hardlines.

The correct tool is a Flare Wrench. You use an open end on the filter where the 6 sided ends are and the flare wrench on the banjo bolt. I cannot remember off hand if it's a 12, 13 or 14mm but it's sitting in my tool box at home.

it's 14mm, but i just used a 14mm open end and it came off fine. i just used another wrench on the fitting it connects to and turned them opposite ways... came off fine.
