In a current thread, the OP says to change his Mazda Radiator, the bumper has to come off.
Another poster said to change his serpentine belt, a motor mount had to be removed.
Vehicles today are made better and repairs may be less frequent,
but for the DIYer, more frustrating.
I have a 2002 Ford Ranger that when I do simple repairs, it's not to difficult to work on. I have easily done:
* Air & fuel filter
* Plugs & wires
* Shocks
* Change all 6 fluids
* Radiator
Only once did I have to take it to a Mechanic because of a coolant leak around the timing chain cover. The skill level was beyond me.
Question: What repairs have you done where you could not believe the vehicle was designed that way.
