The clutch on an Audi 4000 in the middle of winter comes to mind.  I was
luckey enough to be in my unisulated garage though.  It was about 8 degre=
es.

  Removing a rounded off seized front caliper bolt in the snow on a mates
Golf comes to mind.

  Or taking the drums apart after setting the shoes on fire after a track
session in the lashing rain at Castle Coombe armed with a screwdriver and
the wheelnut spanner.

  Getting a 2.5" bore Jetex exhaust not to knock on the rear beam whilst
going round roundabouts.

my
list!), i got to wondering what y'all think is the most fun thing you've
ever replaced in the course of normal maintenace on your cars. the afore
mentioned boot has been moved to the top of my list.
