Most "difficult" things were for example brake discs bolted directly to wheel hubs, without use of bells (and all 4 wheels rotating when you turn only one, so changing all 4 discs same time was some kind of challenge - one false move and finger broken. Also driveshafts without any bolts, joints with splines etc. Open joints on both sides, with grease all over the place and many, many circlips, seger clips, etc.
Thanks, interesting!
