My opinion of the most difficult part of a rebuild is CLEANING and KEEPING EVERYTHING CLEAN. I clean things, send them out and have to re-clean them upon return AGAIN.
Sure the piston pin circlips are a pain in my thumbs, but I can do them much more quickly than I can clean even simple parts. My final cleaning is with lint free wipes and alcohol until the wipes are cleaner than when pulled out of the package.
My experience is that DIRT is the enemy and can be the cause of premature wear and leaks. Then again I firmly believe that haste makes waste.
