Doing just brakes on my SO's Sentra is a chore. Rust, seized slide pins, ordering parts you didn't think you'd need. Using heat, drilling out snapped bolts, etc. Everything is seized and caked on.
Generally though, doing any type of maintenance, fluid changes, replacement parts, feels like you're giving the vehicle new life. Super satisfying.

yes garage keeping really helps, especially in our area, i store mine as well. I’ve also had my fair share of firing up the torch to relieve seized bolts of their duty. haha. Hey don’t forget to give me some notice for your next meet around the ‘Burgh, i check my account here about once per week.
