Sorry no pics and whenever it needs dumped out simply unscrew the cap and pull the bottle ad pour it out. No more oil soaked filter!
How much oil does it catch?

The grenade has a "Handel/top" I unscrewed this from the body then used the 3/8 bit to drill from the bottom all the way through this creates a hole for the shell

Next the little white piece in the Handel should have a node on the top, this is what I shoved the shell onto.
Put it together and that's it.
A set screw would be recommended to hold it to the Handel secure
Just updated. App isn't working for pictures

If u have the beefier hinge, u cut the bottom ear off and the door slides off. On the passenger side, u have to drive out the pin and flip it to point down. Then undo the 9 wiring harnesses under the doors. Just go on google for some clearer writeups. Dremel with lots of little cutter wheels worked best for cutting hinge.
