2018 Mustang GT and Oil Separator

Do you own a 2018 Mustang GT?
Do you own an Oil Separator for it?
Did you happen to install it without removing the engine cover?

On my 2017, it was simple, you'd pop the cover off, and install the passenger side oil separator.

On the 2018, it seems you need tools to remove the engine cover. Really?
Bill on CJ Pony Parts, alluded to being able to install without removing the engine cover.

Thoughts?

It's literally only two 10mm nuts and it pops off. Literally takes 90 seconds. Piece of cake.

I just need to buy some tools then.
Currently, I have tools for house repairs, and such, just not car stuff...

Bought some tools today. I will install the Oil Separator tomorrow, early morning, when it isn't bloody 100 degrees in Atlanta, GA!

ya i loosened the strut bolts to give it room to lift. then the 2 bolts for the cover and popped it off.. snap the oil can on. then put the cover back on.. i thought about leaving the cover off but i decided to put it back on.

I removed the left side 10mm, and was able to install the Oil Separator.

Can you remove and install the pcv hoses without removing the shock tower brace?
Thanks

I believe you can. Do a search on CJ Pony's Parts YouTube channel, they did a video on it, last year...

How much oil does that one catch? I have the JLT and it doesnt seem to catch as much as I thought it should, maybe like half or .35 oz every 1k miles.
