I can relate, Cheezester.

Sometimes an easy job can become a nightmare because of one inaccessable fastener or a corroded bolt. Good on you for perserverence!

An example was on Saturday my buddy Monte and I needed to adjust the voltage regulator on my plane. There is a little box with a screw in it you turn to raise or lower the setpoint of the regulator. Sounds easy enough.

The unit was mounted on the inner firewall above the co-pilot's feet. Hard to see much less get to.

To access the screw to adjust it we had to remove the cover. To remove the cover we had to remove the unit from the firewall. To access the back side of the firewall we had to remove the cowling.

So, like in your case, what should have been aquick easy job took two hours.
