I think... that its the same as the oil cap. You should be able to just remove the neck and put the cap on there.. but im not 100% sure.

it twists off. theres a little ear in there that keeps you from just twisting it off by hand, but if you take a pair of channel locks and bite down on that big flat part (looks like a big flat plastic washer, down next to the valve cover), and then twist, it'll come right out.

yeah, but if you just twist hard enough with channel locks, the clips shall free themselves.

I'd take the valve covers off, last thing you want is a piece of broken plastic clip jangling around, especially since it FLOATS on oil.
