What repairs/upgrades have you done that usually are a PITA for everyone, but hardly made you break a sweat?

I'll start.

Just replaced the o-rings in my oil filter adapter, and was worried I'd have to go through hell to get it off. Turns out my '92 has a 5/8 hex head bolt instead of the T60 that everyone seems to have to deal with. Not only that, but it only took me a couple tugs with two wrenches locked together. Didn't need a cheater bar or anything. It was actually more difficult screwing it back on than anything.

Got her all buttoned up and filled within an hour and a half. (Did oil change while I was at it)

(P.S. Went to jcwhitney.com to get the o-rings. Fit perfect.)

I prefer the Torx for ease of remove/install and the O-Rings are in stock at AutoZone.

Yeah my 91 has a hex nut as well, way easier to get a wrench in there.

I prefer Torx...said no one ever...until you.

I changed & flushed my transmission (auto) fluid recently and welded floors into a car. Two things I know most people would never do. But hey, we're all Jeep guys here, and I'm sure this is basic stuff for a lot of you...lol
