IDK about MOST challenging, but [this one](https://community.cartalk.com/t/so-this-is-just-gm-messing-with-me-isnt-it/54601) sticks out in my mind as among the most aggravating.

TLDR: '00 Olds Silhouette (Chevy Venture / Pont Montana) power steering lines. Rack end fittings had no access except from the top, putting me shoulder deep. Very stubborn fittings and I swear they were 17.5 MM - nothing fit well. And there was pretty much no room to get in there with anything but a wrench.
