Kind of, this stuff takes me a LONG time to do. When I was younger, I would get frustrated and either break things, or just give up and put everything back together and take it to someone else. Now I've learned to take my time, but it costs me well...time. The first time I did the front brakes on this Amigo, it took me something like 9 hours to go through the driver side, then only two hours to do the passenger side. I'm sure there are better ways to do all this stuff, but I don't know them so I just take my time as to limit the amount of stuff I screw up. Up until this, the most ambitious car projects I've done were changing the timing belt, water pump, and alternator on this Amigo, and dropping the transmission and changing the clutch and slave cylinder on my Cavalier. **Who puts the slave cylinder INSIDE the transmission?! I'm looking at you, late 1990's Chevrolet.**
