I hate replacing heater cores, but what I really hate is working on jetskis, anything besides replacing a battery and you have to be a Mechanical Gynecologist.

Steve, I’ve used a trick suggested on TC to put a plastic mallet between front seat and rear, then lean on the front seat to help pop the rear seat bottom back and up to release it from each hook
![]() I too hate any long jobs under a dash…

For me it's anything I have to do that requires me to bend over or get on my back, whether it's doing anything under the car or under the dash.

I rate the difficulty of a job by the amount of Advil needed afterwards. I.E., that’s At least a 4 Advil job. Rob

All the under dash stuff is brutal. On the last truck I did work on I took the seats out so I could stretch out!
On a slightly different but body pain related, I helped a friend recently lay 15 pallets of sod! I couldn’t believe how sore I was! Just remember, pain is weakness leaving the body….lol! |

Not a fan installing carpet. Everytime I look at it I see every mistake. Too expensive.. and too big of a job to rip it out and start over. BTW... I need a 4 speed console for my '72 T/A to hide a big mistake... The original was MIA when I bought the car..

under dash is definitely a PITA. The most frustrating for me is tracking down an electrical gremlin in the system.
