What do you hate most working on your car?

Seeing IJ’s comment about how he hates working on the axles on his car started me thinking.

For me, I hate working on brakes.  They are always filthy dirty shitty things.  It doesn’t seem to matter how much you try and clean them before working on them, you end up with black crap everywhere.

Pulling man gearboxes or diffs to pieces.

As above Axles, but right up there is doing something then thinking of a better way as I finish…

I’m probably the worlds worst person to be doing mechanical work as I really dislike being Dirty..

I reckon that would be a pretty common theme among car builders…

The other thing I hate is working on exhausts, they are always dirty filthy things…

I generally get around 40kgs of dirt off the car after a wet race Cav, it’s more dirty as in grease and muck on mechanical parts, oily filth..
