i used contact spray adhesive and that did a decent job fixing the tear....

I've got this same valve. Only I just access from the side of the skid next to the LCA to avoid having to remove the access door.View attachment 3171144
Fumoto F103S valve, access via the hole in the Budbuilt engine skid. Never spills a drop, very easy. I was never a fan of the Fumoto valve until @Taco2Cruiser sold me on installing one after he installed the skids on my truck. If anything gets past that SS skid and snaps off the Fumoto, well I think I've got bigger problems to deal with, like the armor piercing rocket that hit me.
Turns out I was exaggerating.. finally put the video together and it's just under 1 minute, not 30 seconds.
Still working on a larger thread with a bunch of other details but this shows how easily the stock splash guards come off.

Sounds like a solid plan. If you don’t have one, that 3/8” impact has been a total game changer. I very carefully use it to reinstall bolts, but do final tightening with a ratchet. For disassembly the thing might as well have angels singing when I get it out of the tool box.. it is awesome.@bloc
Thank you for the video sir! I’ll stick with the stock skid, add a Fumota valve, and call it a day.
Your technique is fast enough for me.
I’ve got a battery powered 3/8 electric ratchet…doesn’t torque so hard as to worry about anything stripping and then you just “finish” the torquing using the same tool ratcheting by hand. Works well for this type of thing.Sounds like a solid plan. If you don’t have one, that 3/8” impact has been a total game changer.

No one was talking about using a torque wrench, just finding the correct tightness by feel vs going ham with the impact gun.There is ZERO reason to torque the skid plate bolts. Use your noggin.
