You don't need to remove the skid plate. I just did mine this weekend and I have a much bigger skid plate that stock.

In fact, if your a bit flexible and have an 18" hose on your grease gun you can reach all 11 zerk valves to do the lube job WITHOUT removing the skid plate. However, you have to change that one impossible zerk to a right angle valve (which I did) and point it it straight up.
