Least Favorite thing to work on a car.

[rp23g7]

Bored at work again, slow day.

I search for this, but didnt find it. 

So, we all love working on our old MoPars, but there has got to be at least one job on it that you must absolutly hate doing. 

What is it?

Mine?

I have had to drop the tank on ever old Mopar to replace the float or sending unit, or to clean the tank out, hate that job.  Getting ready to do it on the Coronet.
Such a pain.

I worked at Mazda for a while, hated doing timing belts on 6 cyl MPV's

Worked at Chrysler once too, want to replace a horn on a Cirrus, I had to take half the stuff out of the front end.

I will never buy a older car with AC again after having my heater core go out on a 79 Ford LTD, that car had it in for me.


Whats yours? Everybody must have one.

[Brock Samson]

 I have to say IMHO working under the dash,.. In fact i really can't physically do it anymore, I did when I was in my 20s and 30s - but now?..  laying on my back upside down is pretty much impossible,.. let alone upside down streched across a transmisson tunnel with my glasses falling off, i have to tape them to my face these days...
swapping a starter recently was near to impossible... don't get old! I'm 52 now BTW.. leaning into an engine compart. is relatively easy. removing and swapping dash pads wasn't at all fun as I recall...

[68X426]

at least one job on it that you must absolutly hate doing. 

Trying to explain new parts to the wife.    No, really.    No, really, I mean it. 

OK, it's electrical. Anything electrical. Hate it.

[Charger´69]

Rust, I really HATE it and always try to buy a car without rust issues 

[defiance]

I actually enjoy electrical, and usually end up going way overboard any time I touch a wire...   But as for hated work...  Agreed on the gas tank.  Pretty much anything to do with fuel lines I completely hate.  I can't stand getting fuel on me and I never manage to avoid it.  In fact, make that anything where fluids have to be released

Yeah under dash work sucks, another reason i wont buy a AC car.  Cant wait to tackle the starter on the Coronet, it has a mini on it and it looks like i have enought room to yank the header off if i need to.

[rp23g7]

Rust, I really HATE it and always try to buy a car without rust issues 

Me too, thought i escaped rust when i bought the Coronet, but it has some starting on the rear quarters under the bumble bee stripe, dang it.

[lisiecki1]

removing and installing the headers on the hemi in dads 67 is a pain....but worth it 

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Anything having to do with freshly painted/restored parts & installing them..... 

[LeadfootBob]

Brake jobs have a special place in my heart, this after spending considerable time on my Toyota Starlet when the calipers seized up every other week or so, got to the point where I lost my tempar and kept driving until the pads caught fire. Ended up selling it to some rally driver from finland, hope he has more fun with it than me.
Any job can end up on the bottom of the fun list when it just HAS to be done - you can't drop the tools and catch a few hours of diversion, because that car better be done by morning or you're not going to work. Sure takes the fun out of wrenching when it happens too frequently.

Strangely enough I found it very fun to rebuild the floor on my '70, the before/after shots are a great confidence builder. Soothes the soul to rip out old rotten metal and lay down a fresh coat of paint once the new stuff is welded in

[Sublime/Sixpack]

Here are a few that come to mind:

Working under the dash is something I have never really enjoyed, and as I get older I enjoy it even less.
Installing a Mopar four speed tranny while lying on my back is something that I don't especially look forward to.
And changing spark plugs (when the engine is hot) on a big block A-body or B-body that has the stock exhaust manifolds.

[tan top]

i'm with Brock !! when i first had my charger  at 17 could lay upside down up under the dash with my legs hanging over the seatback/headrests !! could still do it u until about 25ish  , cant do it now    
also hate doing any work / job on modern stuff  , from 90 on wards !!  & 2000 onwards the most !!  , back in the old days  when humans designed cars & stuff they figured in how to replace parts should they malfunction    ,     not no half the car is built around any part that needs to be changed & you spend 2 hours removing stuff to get to what needs to be changed   ,   another example ! change spark plugs on a  impetza turbo   got to take the motor out !!  
  nother one  ,  removing  the plastic mud shields under the fenders , all then little plastic screws , normaly round off soon as you look at them
perhaps i'm just getting  old & im- patient , but  when i started  as a mechanic etc  nothing would  wind me  up , i would just get on & do it  
 but know i take one look at some jobs & think   as i know how much trouble they are to do , compared to working on old cars
ok sorry guys got a bit carried away  

[69bronzeT5]

Anything electrical wise, can't stand it. I also remember doing the side windows on my Charger with my dad and the '70 GSX we restored was a major bitch.

[bull]

Electrical or anything that's hard to get to.

[Rolling_Thunder]

LOVE: Electrical Work...    I guess I just have a knack for it...     I also love all the detail work - it is the little things that make a car beautiful...     I have seen way too many "High Dollar" cars (ie. Foose, Strope, Delaney) that have complete SHIT work when it comes to details...     I pride myself on things like Hose routing, electrical routing, and overall cleanliness...

HATE: Working on dirty stuff....     I used to work at resto shops and people don't care about their cars at all it seems....     Suggestion: Everyone take their car to a coin op car wash and spray their undercarriages every 6 months...    makes things like oil leaks and crap like that easier to find and your mechanic (or yourselves) will thank me...    


If you have to narrow it down to a TASK i hate...   well that would have to be changing 3rd members

And changing spark plugs (when the engine is hot) on a big block A-body or B-body that has the stock exhaust manifolds.

yeah, stock manifolds and plugs

mine with my headers are magically easy to get to. I did a tune up on a Cordoba once, the guy said it had a 440, but i think it was a 400, i dont think they put a 440 in those.

The manifolds were probably 1/2 to 3/4 away from the inner fenders, this dude had just came of the freeway and wanted the plugs done now cause he was late.

It had barely enough room to get my had between the fender and the manifold. I squeezed my had beteen them gritting my teeth all the way, it was hot. No dang sleeves. I dropped on of the plugs and instictivly grabbed for it, jamming my wrist between the fender and the burning hot manifold,

MMMM Smell of burned flesh, i still have that scar.

[WHITE AND RED 69]

I'm with everyone else who said electrical. I suck at wiring anything under the dash, something usually always goes wrong.

[Tilar]

It's hard for me to think of something I don't like doing. Electrical is definitely my forte, I'm probably what you would call a hobbyist at transmission rebuilding. Engines used to be second nature but there have been tons of advancements in the last 20 years. I have dial indicators and have rebuilt and set up more differentials than I could ever count, I'm decent at body work but I'm way too picky to do it as a profession... I guess I'd have to say front end work is my "least favorite" thing to do. I think they call people like me a "Jack of all trades and a master of none." At my age I wish I could remember half of what I've forgot. 

[SFRT]

under dash is easy just take the seats out........

[khodne]

Wiring harnesses.  I'm putting this off as long as possible, it's never any fun and chasing down problems on a 40 year old harness never is a quick job.

[b5blue]

One look at my car and you will know it's body work!   Anyone around here wanna help?  

[FLG]

Dont mind working under the dash...but im 21 so i can still sit backwards on the seats!

I dont mind getting dirty, but as soon as you do the phone goes off and its a pain in the ass. I hate having to work on stuff with that 30+ year old oil crud build up on everything, makes things a big pain.

But i really hate when your working under the car, and maybe you need to bang on a part that siezed to knock it loose..something to that matter....and than with every knock you get a nice face full of dirt, rust, and crap all over your face. And if you wear glasses like me your thankful you get none in your eyes but since your covered in grease you cant take em off to clean up so you resort to trying to blow the crap off of them by adjusting your lips to blow upwards.  

Oh and sanding...i think like everyone here...i HATE sanding. And buffing, cant forget that....car looks great but compound is flying every which way and your bound to get it all over yourself around the waist area.

[squeakfinder]

  I hate anything to do with exhaust system's. Maybee if I had a lift my attitude might be better. But lying on my back pre fitting a part of an exhaust system and tacking it together, then pull it out to complete a weld, then crawl back under the car to insall that section and so on.
 
  Most everything else I enjoy doing. But I did recently install a heater core in a 72 chevy c/10 pickup without AC. I had to remove the right front tire, so I could remove the inner fender (had to be done to get the duct work off the firewall) . I destroyed 3 bolts trying to get it off. Then, it was an even bigger bitch lining up the inner fender to get it bolted back on.

[billssuperbird]

  installing a over center spring. on my car.

ok sorry guys got a bit carried away  

No i am the same way, its the new crap that gets to me too. 

When i was a mechanic i would just get the job and do it.  Now i choose what i want to work on, but i still hate the new stuff.  We have a 99 Explorer with the 4.0 OHC. 

Most of the stuff on it is easy to to, but tedious because you gotta uncover what ever you are trying to get to. 

It needs the lower intake gasket changed, vacume leak when cold , and the cam chain tensioner fix, both easy to do, you just have to take the whole top of the engine/emission controls garbage off to do it.  I just look at it and dread doing it.

[Mr.Woolery]

-Rust abatement in hard to reach areas
-Window cranks/latches/locks/inside door work.

How much I enjoy a job is directly related to how easily I can access it.

[elacruze]

Hm.

I don't have a particular 'hate this' job, but thinking about it I dread tedious jobs, that are simple but take a long time. Fuel sucks, especially if it's been undisturbed for 15 years. Rust sucks, although at this point in my life I'm looking toward it as an undiscovered frontier-I did replace the cab floors and supports in my pickup successfully. Electrical, Suspension and A/C are my strong suits, and although all three are often annoying they are the most rewarding when done right. When I was younger, manual transmissions and axles were my love-I've always been the guy who gets the planetary steer axle rebuilds lol.

When I get home, I'll get to finish the details on my Charger-I'm kind of looking forward to that, just as therapy and something not an emergency.

[elacruze]

Sounds like you need a career change, Cooter!

C'mon over to the world of big dirty things-changing air compressor belts on a '85 BlueBird Wanderlodge with a 200,000 mile Detroit 8V92...or changing the main hydraulic hose on same...gives dirty a new meaning.

Hm. back to old stuff, Ford truck/van kingpins (when they really were pins) in the twin I-beam front end...every time I heard a squeak out in the intersection the hair stood up on the back of my neck thinking it was a blue oval van coming in with siezed kingpins.

Something tells me you may work at a dealership.

I forgot, the most stressful job i ever did working on cars, at Mazda, i had to put a roof rack on a brand new MPV.  Something about drilling into a brand new purchased car.  Man that stressed me out, measure once, almost drill, measure again, i can do it, no, i better measure one more time.

[defiance]

Actually, that reminds me of one I forgot.  Right out of high school I worked for a while doing stereo installs.  Did good work 99% of the time, but every once in a while I would make some stupid mistake.  Mostly it was minor things, but one time it wasn't.  Since then I absolutely do not want to work on jeeps, ever, at all.  Basically, the install went great, everything checked out, ran through my checklist afterward, customer looked and listened and was very happy.  Customer paid and left and I started on the next job.  20 minutes later the customer came back with the top of their vehicle smashed and the hood folded backward over it.  I didn't get the side latches locked on the hood, and it popped up at 45mph driving down a busy street.  The absolute terror that I could have KILLED someone for a momentary lapse in attention is a lot of the reason I don't work on other people's cars anymore.

[Cooter]

Rp23G7, No, I work at an independent shop...Dealerships are easier, as once you learn the models and their problems, you can diagnose over the phone almost....When working for an independent shop, one day your working on somebody's 1947 Chevy, the next day your working on a 2010 Mercedes, with an SRS problem...You never really learn any of the cars problems, cause by the time you've got 'em nailed down the owners sell them for something different....Defiance, Yep, someone screws up sitting in their office space on the computer, they simply Correct it...We screw up out here in the shop, someone dies and we lose everything we worked for, for the last 37 Years..I forgot to mention one thing....State Inspections are my LEAST favorite thing to do At the moment, as you Almost ALWAYS have somebody that thinks your messing with them by rejecting their vehicle and want to argue with you about it, threaten to call the State Police on you in hopes to Force you to put a sticker on it, etc..
I had one guy one time with a driver's window that wouldn't work properly on it's own power..The book states the driver's window Has to work Properly...
I rejected his car and even told him what was wrong with it and how to repair it..Instead, he comes back to the shop with a Trooper in tow looking to Force me to put a good sticker on his car..Well, the trooper told him to hit the power window button and let the window down..He did and it went down, however, when the trooper told him to roll the window UP, it stopped about halfway up...Guy got so mad, he went off and began to kick the side of his car....The trooper just looked at me and said "Justified"....

I hear ya, same reason i got out of the wrenching for a shop.  I was at Mazda doinga brake job on a older late 80's early 90's 626.  The parts dept was out of the nut that holds the rear brake drum on.... the only thing that holds the rear brake drum on.  It has a groove you stake it in with a good hit of a hammer.  Well i tell the service manager that it was not available, he says just put the old one on.

I say mmm NO, he says the customer needs to go, just make it work.  I say only if you sign a statement stating that i told you it was not available and i shouldnt use it.

He signs, i switch left from right nuts, they lined up a bit different, customer leaves.  Guess what car is back in the shop the next day, needing a alighnment and a new wheel.

Yeah, Service advisor lost his job.  I still had mine, due to having witness's

Yeah, i remember the gas station days, water pump on a Firebird, timing belt on a Pinto, hated working on GM J bodies, man they were garbage.

[Belgium R/T -68]

Love electrical problems and hate working on brakes.

Per

[CYACOP]

Anything under the hood of a front wheel drive car. They were designed to be disposable to me.

[TylerCharger69]

i dont mind working on anything on the car....but bodywork and SANDING!!!!   EWWWWW   That is a downright tedious job right there!!

[Cooter]

You know what's weird? I guess it's cause I don't do it for a living, but I actually enjoy bodywork/sanding....

[BBKNARF]

Unbolting and removing the transmission, while laying on your back

[bordin34]

Anything that involves unbolting or working around headers.

[Mefirst]

I hate working on cars period but because I have bad masochistic tendencies I just have to..

[1969chargerrtse]

The rear main seal on my 440 because after a pro did it, it leaks.  And everyone has told me after I have it done again, or do the pain staking job of doing it myself, it will still leak.

[Cooter]

The rear main seal on my 440 because after a pro did it, it leaks.  And everyone has told me after I have it done again, or do the pain staking job of doing it myself, it will still leak.

And they would be correct.....I've NEVER seen a two piece rear main seal NOT leak....About the best you can hope for is a slight Seap instead of a pouring oil out like crazy...

[lisiecki1]

try this the next time you have to do a big block rear main seal.  after you put the crank in, offset the main seal about 20 degrees or so by pushing it out with a small screw driver.

[ITSA426]

I don't mind most of the work but I hate having to work underneath anything that just came in off a snowy road with all the ice turds, salt, and dirty water dropping on me.  I try not to do anything under the car until spring or at least until the car's been in the garage long enough for the floor to dry out.

[bill440rt]

I'd have to say electrical, because I suck at it. 
And yeah, gas tank sending units are no fun.
Worst of all is taking something apart again after you've spent weeks putting it together. Now it looks perfect and you have to blow it apart again to correct some stupid problem. 

I LOVE the detail stuff, and bodywork, sanding, painting, etc. Buffing too, is a good therapeutic way to spend an afternoon.
I guess I like making shitty stuff look good again.

[Back N Black]

I did not like reinstalling door and quarter glass components and trying to adjust everything.I still think it a crappy setup.

[rick.d]

I hate having to do things twice however, i usually learn the second time what i should have known the first time.Most of all i hate working on anything but my Charger. I really hate to have to buy parts for any of my cars that dont make it look better or go faster.

It's not leaking.It's marking it's territory!!!

[BlueSS454]

The 2 jobs I can't stand doing on any car are pulling automatic transmissions and doing anything that has anything to do with headers.

[Finn]

Anything that involves unbolting or working around headers.

Here here. Ive taken those damn hookers on and off enough times that I needed to buy 5 sets of gaskets. 

Also, brake/fuel lines...mainly because I didn't do them first when the car was a bare shell.

[mopar73]

Replacing a starter on the 73/400 with headers in the parking lot of a rent it center What a PITA!  Fortunatly I've had to do that before so I knew what to expect.

[Lizey]

brakes f***ing suck to work on

[grdprx]

My least favorite thing, is not knowing how to do something.  I don't know anything about body work, and would love to learn.  have figured most everything else out..  Thinking of taking a college class if I can find time/money.

[resq302]

I have to probably say aligning the windows in the charger and our chally vert.  Lots of trial and error.   Possibly next on my list will be to pull the padded dash from my charger.   I am almost ready to undertake that so I can paint the metal part of the dash correctly.

[400/6/PAC]

I hate sanding, Body work is fun for Me but sanding really sucks.

[jaak]

I hate sanding, Body work is fun for Me but sanding really sucks.

Me too....block sanding sucks.

[rodneyramjet]

Glad to see others that think getting at the spark plugs is a challenge.  The plugs were out of the car when I got it.  I'm trying to figure out how to get a compression tester hooked up with so little room to work up in there.  It is a 383 that originally had a single exhaust, my dad put dual exhaust on in about 72 or so using Mopar headers.

Any tricks anyone can share?  Also trying to picture how I will get my torque wrench up in there when I put the plugs in.

Thanks

[Kern Dog]

Holy crap....This thread was from before I ever joined the site!
Okay...LEAST favorite stuff. Sorta hard for me to decide since I actually enjoy most things on these old cars.
