I would like to look at other peoples idea on what the hardest job they've had to do on their car. On my car 2 things come to mind
Removing the rear subframe to replace bushings, sand, and paint it. It was hard because every bolt was frozen. The bolts in the knuckles were frozen to the bushings, the subframe bolts were so frozen that I spun a couple of the nuts that are mounted inside the frame of the car. I had to drill 1" holes to access each one so I could get the loose nuts resecured and heat the nut to break the bolts free! That piece fought me every step of the way to remove. Indiana/Ohio!!!
The next one was replacing the steering rack! I don't know about others opinions but that is a pain in the butt to remove and re-install the lines and to r&r the rack itself, tight fit. Probably a lot easier if you do it on a hoist though.
