I'm sorry to hear that it's frustration for you. For me, it's therapy. All my troubles go away as soon as I get a wrench in my hand. Maybe you should hire it out.

Could always do a engine push on a 95 Grand Am and take it out through the bottom:D Or a Chevy van out through the door:D We know we all love it:D :D

I agree with Techinspector1 - it's therapy for me too. If you do get that frustrated, I think maybe letting someone else do it is a good solution. If you don't hire it out, maybe a close friend that considers it therapy - but you shouldn't get all tense up about it - that takes all the FUN out of it!

No kiidin! No sense in lettin an inanimate object kick your hindend before you even git started! I admit that some jobs are more dreadful than others, like when I had to pull the trans/trnsfer case outta my Wagoneer the second time because of a bad t/converter, but there are those jobs that are fun like building an engine for a muscle car, or streetrod cause there's nuttin like firin that thang up for the first time! YEEHAW! Of course, some of me are more simple minded than others too.

hahah nah i not frustrated about it , it was all the crap i had to go through to get the van to my house. last night i started on it.... loved it as soon as i started wrenching away, already got some scruffs from it, my forearm was sore as hell, i was trying to unbolt the bumper, and the damn speed wrench slipped and i smacked my arm on the cross member! ow! haha but its all good i go back it tomarrow after work. ima pull the alternator,starter, fan, and the wires and most of the little things, hopefully tomarrow ill have pics.
