I use a large adjustable spanner and a soft cloth. Adjust jaws of wrench to fit hex on filler cap and off it comes.

Your not alone Carl , this short ass also has the same trouble along with trying to relocate the dipstick back into the leader pipe when checking the oil, Can't see the damn hole !!!!!!

I used to use the A bar to step on until I filled it up with spot lights. I now stand at the side of the truck, it's still a bit of a reach but it's my own fault Cause I fitted a lift kit.

Oh I think I'm not a vertically challenged person at 5'10.

I was thinking of adapting me trolley jack with a platform !!

After two and a half years of practice I can find the hole without looking.............when dipping the oil.
