You must of done it the hard way. No reason to pull the derby cover if you are just changing oil. Just add 1 quart (32oz) of oil through the primary chain inspection cover (2 screws).

Yep, I like to keep it simple, so I just use the primary chain inspection cover as well on all my Harley's...
Little bit harder on the big twins though, as you have to remove 4 bolts on the cover instead of just 2 that are used on the Sportsters...
1200 (EVO);
Softail (TC);
Dyna (EVO);

FYI, Vasoline (petroleum jelly) in the quad-ring groove works good as well.

Ha ha, sounds like you had a heck of a time... Glad you are still alive! I did it the "hard" way and didn't think it was much trouble, but in the future I will use the primary chain inspection hole. Much quicker.
Ride safe!
