My first clue was with a 2001 Corolla. A headlight bulb burned out while
I was on the road, spare in the glove box. No problem, right? Wrong! It
takes a socket wrench to remove a bracket in the way. Now I carry one,
but that car is long gone, and I'm sure it's much, much worse now.

My old '03 Taurus. Disconnect, and drop everything in front of the
windshield to put in struts. Not surprisingly, the years of
documentation, and videos, even the factory service manuals skip this
part. "Here's the old struts!" Cut to next page, or scene, "Here's
the new ones installed!" Took me four jacks at $100 a pop, ~six
months time, and $750 for struts (I bent one), almost busted an axle,
too. The kiloBuck, and half-day at Les Schwab was sounding better by
the minute, but I thought, hey, I'll save a few bucks... Ironically,
about a month later, I found an obscure video where one guy said, but
did not show, "You'll have to lower the engine, and transmission
carrier to do this."
