Curious what everyone's "worst repair" they've encountered is-- you know that job that you thought would go smoothly and turned into an absolute nightmare. Or that job on a vehicle where they make it **** near impossible to perform a certain task. I'm right in the midst of one that fits in the latter category, replacing some power steering hoses & pump on my '96 Maxima. It's almost like the engineers in Japan forgot to add the power steering pump into the design and just winged it. I picture the conversation going like this:
(senior engineer): Ready for production fellas!
(apprentice engineer): Wait, we forgot the power steering pump!
(senior engineer): Crap, well stick it in that tiny opening that's covered up by sixteen components that not even an elf can get their hands into, even if you do take apart half the car.
Had to take a break, neighbors probably think I've lost my mind with all the cursing going on. Figured a thread like this would take my mind off what a cluster*** job this is. And maybe I can take some solace in others' misery
