Repairing a Manifold (header) stud thats broken off while initially trying to get the b@*tch of the starter motor out . Also to mention the headers were of spaghetti type with no space to gets the 12 spanner in.
Re: Whats the worst JOB on a transaxle ????
Totally agree. That's why I moved to SoCal from Denmark after having a 75 rust so fast Alfa Romeo had to replace front and rear sheet metal of car under factory 6 year rust warranty No need to say any SoCal 75/Milano is completely rust free even after 20+ years (unless having lived by the ocean).Mats wrote:Yes, I agree.

Everyone thinks I moved here because of work/career, but the real motivation was rust free Alfas

Re: Whats the worst JOB on a transaxle ????
Living where I do I would have to agree that rust is miserable, fortunately my GTV6 is from California and sleeps in a dry location until the salt is gone so rust is a minor concern but I'm always on the lookout
Other than that I would say that the nastiest job I've subjected myself to is replacing the rear wheel bearings.I'm sure it's a piece of cake with the correct AR tool but I don't have one so the last time I did one I spent a good 2 hours with a slidehammer, I can still feel the shock in my forearms.Ultimately all it takes is three or four minutes at the wheel with the 2.5 singing @ 5000 rpm and the pain goes away - strange eh!

Threading in a new (+) battery cable, but worse is removing the old one..
or getting the little clip on the brake/clutch pedals

Anything that requires the removal off the propshaft...
Putting a windowmechanism together, the one with the loose little wheels and cable.
bleeding the rear brakes.
Test drive is always a reward after those swearing-moments.

Re: Whats the worst JOB on a transaxle ????
On Milano/75 V6 you can get the rack out without removing engine (it does need engine mounts loosened and lifted with a jack, but doable) - done it multiple times. Doesn't that apply to the GTV6 as well?
