Default Why Is It

Why is it when the simpliest of jobs turn into the biggest pain in the ***,Iam going to burn my car.I just don't get it.Every time I do something on my car it turns into a fight.Iam replacing the master cylinder and booster while Iam there.Easy job.6 bolts and 3 brake lines.1 hour max including bleed.But no.Can't happen for me.Really Ticked.

I for the life of me can't get the booster out.The studs have the thread stuck on the firewall as well as the pedal box.Basically the holes don't line up and unless I can unscrew the studs(which you can't) Iam going to have to pull the dash back to release the pressure that pedal box is putting on the threads.Anyone elses car this does not happen.There is no answer to my question of WHY and to make matters worse Iam typing this at this hour because I still can't get it out.Looks like dash out or cut the studs.If ford designed the car right they would have not run the a/c duct right in front on the bolts but O NO that would make sense.Problem is nearly 20 years on and they still can't make a car mechanic friendly. :
