Just finished my first worse one. 98 Ford F-150. Everything but the firewall had to to come out. Flat rate was around 8.5 hrs when in reality it took me about 12. Luckily I get paid hourly
Really sucks when the repair is worth more than the car........

Back in the 70s I had a Mercury Bobcat station wagon with a V-6. The heater core crapped out and I started in to change it. I got one side of the dash torn apart, and then saw what it was going to take to finish the job. I said to hell with it and cut and looped the heater hose under the hood. It was like impossible to do as far as I was concerned...and I sure couldn't afford what the dealer wanted to charge me...never did fix that heater core.
Certain Oldsmobiles we had to cut the firewall. I did a few. Line tech at the dealership.
