Oil extender is easy. Bend it forward. Straight towards you. Don't twist. It will pop out and not break. Promise just do it.

That's exactly how I did mine. I tried for about 15 minutes to twist the damn thing out. I then said to the oil cap extender, "F*** YOU!!!", and pulled with all my might towards me, and it popped out so easy that I lost my balance and took a couple steps back.

Does the OEM cap fit back in place without the extender? If not, what did you guys replace it with?
