install TRD radiator cap & Oil Filler Cap Billet Aluminum - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

jdair28 · 03-20-2014, 06:06 PM

hey all,

I ordered these TRD parts, but I have no idea how to replace the stock ones. For the radiator cap, I've twisted it but cant seem to pry it off and the oil filler cap just won't budge. I guess I'm afraid of breaking these so I really haven't put much force. These probably makes me look really stupid but if anyone can give more insight here, I would appreciate it. Sorry in advance for such a newb request.

thanks for your time

Pic of under the radiator cap please.
I had the same problem.
For the oil filter cap you might need a tool.

Rad cap push down turn left , pull off , make sure you do this when the car is cold not hot if not u can burn ur self since the coolent is under pressure when hot..

This works for over-the-counter meds too

so i was able to replace the radiator cap, you just have to really pry it off (and i think pressing down on it so thanks for that tip). Still have no idea how to replace the "stock oil filler cap." It's the yellow piece thats directly to the right of the black oil filter i believe? anyone know how to switch it out?

There's nothing to replacing that oil filler cap. Just turn it counter clockwise. The first time I changed my oil, it was also a bit stiff.

Also make sure you retain and reuse the oil cap o-ring for proper alignment. You just have to muscle it off :-)
