I've done a lot of "difficult" jobs in that they took a ton of time and patience and maybe some skill to do right: rust repair, body panel and door skin replacement and full body repaints, replacing engine and entire drivetrain on 4x4 vehicles, rebuilding engines, stuff like that. Practically speaking the only category of car repair job I have never tackled in any way is transmission work, I have replaced several transmissions but have never cracked one open and don't plan to start. A man has got to know his limitations!

But, the only jobs I still have bad dreams about are the jobs that were just miserable. Jobs where you are soaked with dripping coolant that runs up your arms while you work under the vehicle. Jobs you had to do laying in a gravel parking lot in the winter. Jobs where you didn't have the right tool and while trying to "make do" you rounded off that hard to reach bolt head and made a lot more work for yourself. Those are their own brand of difficult.
