What a pain in the neck.....and back...and knuckles

Today I finally swapped in the 89/90 ECM I bought a while ago. Fortunately I could tell a worthwhile difference over the OE '88 unit because MAN what a pain that thing is to get to! While I'm only 5'7" I carry a substantial more weight than I should which makes all the bending and twisting to get in position to access that thing that much more uncomfortable. Pudgy hands don't maneuver that well in that tight space also, they're all chewed up!

Lol when i bought my comanche it sat at our shop for 2 years because i didnt have a place to store it. My boss must have removed my computer at least 4 times to test in customer jeeps. I would go out to start it every few weeks and every time i would have to reinstall the computer...that got old fast.

I broke down and bought an extra long 10mm wrench to finally get in there. Socket was too difficult to get on or engage and my regular 10mm was too short even with the seat removed and knee panel dropped down. The XL wrench finally made getting the nuts off not TOO difficult, but still a slow process. It was threading the nuts back on that shredded my hands and had me contorted like a sideshow at the circus! Glad it's overwith LOL :crazy:

I have said that soooo many times when working on equipment or coaching some of my Joes on fixing equipment.
