What is the most trying part to replace on your Alfa?

Hi Guys, I only have 116 GT experience & have done driveshaft donuts a few times.  I manage without disconnecting anything else but it is a struggle!  Maybe being a bush mechanic helps
My vote though goes to removing the clutch slave cylinder without letting anything else loose, it is virtually impossible to get a spanner on one bolt head.  I managed this once but the next time cut a hole in the floor to gain access!

Pretty much exactly how i remember the heater tap, with the exception of re installation. Didn't use another alfa one, as i figured it would probably break again soon anyway being so old. Made a joiner that bolts to the heater core, then relocated a generic tap into the engine bay. The joiner was much smaller than the original tap, allowed for a bit more room to work with. Better description in the 160 series board somewhere.
