I'm sure mine wasn't all that hard in the grand scheme of things, so think about some of yours and which was the worse.
In this case I need a muffler for the 03 Sequoia as well as at least one of the pipes to the cat which isn't available separately, to get it through a Virginia inspection. Aftermarket mufflers are around $250 and the cats even more so I was determined to find something on the cheap. Found another Sequoia at the junkyard that still had the wheels and tires on it just so I had a fighting chance. Most of them didn't and were sitting on the ground. This one did have 3 flat tires but luckily the one near the muffler was good.
If you're ever tried to pull under body parts from a car you know what a pain it can be. Thank goodness the two cats were already cut off and I only had to make one cut behind the muffler with a chain strap type cutter. Not fun with your face inches from the floor and your arm stretched out working that thing. The half a dozen rubber hangers were no picnic either but after an hour and a half I was able to get it out. Thing must weigh over 50 pounds. Paid $31.25 for everything but I have a feeling I'm going to pay for it even more next morning.
