      Removing the passenger side axle from the rear hub took me forever when I did my wheel bearings a few months ago. Couldn't get it to move, broke my damn puller and smashed my thumb with a hammer in the process. Ended up setting up what was left of the puller as tight as I could get it, heating the hub with a torch for ten minutes, and pounding the forcing screw with a three pound mini sledge.

      I miss the old BMW

            did a steering rack swap, and now that THAT part's done my serpentine belt tensioner is stripped so I'm needing a new adjusting bar or a shorter belt.

                  rolling the power window up. Would take 5 seconds if the motor wasn't out. Using a tool to put it up sucks =1 minute

                      i helped my buddy swap out his alternator
                      when i went to replace the alt belt i removed the power steering belt and the a/c compressor belt,
                      i got the alt belt on and the power steering belt on
                      i still can't get the ac belt back on.

                      back at it tomorrow
                      we are at 3 hours to replace 3 belts and an alternator

                          removing the fucking transmission mounts in a getrag 260, the nuts and bolts were so fucking welded by heat, gunk and 20 other shits.

                          4 hours to loose those son of presidents.

                              Control arm, the stud for the inner ball joiint snapped in the subframe.

                              Four hours of hammering from the top did nothing. Dropped the subframe in 30 minutes and took me three swings (and some torch action) with the hammer and it was out .

                                Bleeding the cooling system, for some reason last time, it took forever before I finally got all the air out. Normally never have a problem with it.
