i think the big nut on the pintle was the most pita of any i can remember taking off..i think it was a 2.5 inch socket and you have to hold the pintle from spinning while trying to get the big arse nut to break loose .i had to use a pipe and a floor jack to get mine loose

Steering box bolt. No big deal after you lift the motor.

Lower bolt nearest the frame for master cylinder, it's a booger.

Any one you can't get to with an air ratchet/impact wrench and can only get 1/8 of a turn on with a box end wrench that you have had to cut down to get into the tight space that was designed by an idiot after consulting with a moron.

I sold the pintle hook off my parts truck and i couldn't get it off, so i cut the rear cross member off.

If you use a 1/4" ratchet with a 10" extension and go in from the other side the the cross member, it is a snap.

injection pump to houseing bolts i made a wrench just for that job made it easier

Haven't done some of the work y'all have so I went with the P/B mechanism mounting bolts between the floor of the cab and the tool box top.

Wasn't that bad but still.

i also had a super hard time tightening the bellhousing to trans bolts while the trans was still in the truck .. the top two were the worst.. I had to use a open end wrench and a pry bar working through the little inspection hole at the bottom of the bell

Been awhile but thought that there are three studs on the front gear cover and if you put a jam nut on the correct three the IP and the spacer plate come off as one. Then you don't have to fool around with the hard to get to bolts that hold the IP to the spacer.

Wait until you go to take a fender off and the captured nuts won't hold where the fender attaches to the cab. You've got to cut a hole into the cab tubing to access the nuts to hold them.

Replacing the defroster duct isn't any fun either.

I have small kids for those hard to reach areas

Deuce PTO gearbox to tranny mounting nuts, it was a whole lot easier with the tranny out of the truck. I could never imagine doing this with the tranny still on the truck.
