My buddy's 'simple' axle swap in his garage turned into a 3-day nightmare

We planned a weekend to swap his Dana 44, but a seized pinion nut and stripped bolt heads (from a previous owner, of course) blew that timeline apart. Anyone ever have a 'quick' project go completely sideways like that?

My neighbor's brake job last month took four days because of one rounded caliper bolt.

Heat that bolt up first next time, works every time.

Four days over one bolt? I'd be losing my mind after the first afternoon...
