Can the Mishimoto OCC be removed (for draining/cleaning/inspection) without removing the carbon fiber strut brace??
Supposedly people remove the can without removing the brace. Based on removal yesterday I think it's possible but I personally don't trust myself since I'm flimsy.

It took me 5-10min or so to remove the brace and I don't see an issue with removing the brace each time as it's super easy. I guess maybe not everyone has the tools and torque wrench handy.

I'm considering installing the Mishimoto drain plug/line and using the line to drain when needed.
Are the bolts for the brace single use only and need new ones every time removed?
