Ok I must be stupid because I keep reading about the crush washer on the oil drain plug but I’m having issues. Mine has a washer on it near the bolt head but the inside diameter of the washer won’t allow it to slide past the fat part where the o ring is in order to remove it. I bought a new washer when I bought the oil filter and it will slide past the o ring but then I would have 2 washers on there and I’m afraid the o ring would then be too far “in”. Are there supposed to be 2 washers there? The parts diagram doesn’t show 2. What am I missing?

Are you talking about item #8 here, with o-ring item #40? https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/honda/atv/2007/trx680fa-2a-fourtrax-rincon/front-crankcase-cover
Edit: after finding a video on youtube, it looks like items 13, 29, & 34 here are what you were referring to: https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/honda/atv/2007/trx680fa-2a-fourtrax-rincon/rear-crankcase-cover
I've never seen a Honda use something like that. But it sure looks like your washer should be loose and replaceable. It problably just got compressed on it. I would take a vise grip to the washer, or clamp it in a view, and then turn the bolt to free up the washer.

Not a lot of Rincon regulars left here. You could try asking over on the Honda Pioneer forum. The P-700 uses the same motor and tranny as your Rinny.
