I jack it up with a floor jack and remove the skid plate bolts and oil drain plug and then lower the cart to let it fully drain while level. Once drained, jack it back up and put the drain plug back on with a new washer then reinstall the plate. The plate is not heavy, hold it in place with one hand and thread two bolts with the other hand to hold it in place and then you will have both hands free to finish attaching the plate bolts. It’s not a difficult job, especially once you’ve done it once.
