Removing side panels on RT Limited

[NJERNIE]

Today I was going to change the oil in my RT Limited being I always changed it in my RS and didn't think there would be a problem. I was wrong - as I started to remove the side panels I found that a special tool is needed to remove the two chrome screws. Tool kit does not supply this item - does anyone know where to get the proper tool or some other way of removing the panels. Checked in auto parts stores and Lowes and could not find a tool that would do the job. Any help will be greatly appreciated. It's not bad enough we keep spending more and more money on our toys - now they have us spending more money on special tools.

Those screws don't need to come out

Service Manual

I would like to know if there a Service Manual for 2010 RT and if so where can I get one. There is no dealers for the Can Am where I live. I have to take it out of town for minor service like the oil change and I would like to it myself. If you could I will be thankful.

Thank you for your help. By any chance is there a class that I can take about Canam spyders, how to work on them, I would love to learn.

I don't know if they'd be comfortable giving us amateurs enough rope with which to hang ourselves...:yikes: But some sort of "Spyders For Dummies With Wrenches" course would be a real nice idea...
