That's just part of being a mechanic, some things are not easy. When
that car was built there were parts put on first and parts that were
put on last. Not many of the parts that fail can be changed standing
upright beside the vehicle. Remove the seat, steering column, and
anything else that makes it a bit easier as seldom is the repair the
removal of just the failed part.
