Yeah I do remember that. I remember sitting on the top of the fender well while working on a truck in the past too! That's kind of how roomy it is under the hood in my car. Not quite like the old days, but nothing like most modern cars. You can actually get right at the top transmission bolts at the rear of the engine without an issue from above.
Modern cars are like puzzles. Fortunately, they're easier to diagnose and, for the most part, you just swap parts instead of actually repairing a part.
Thats what I do at work on service calls too, just replace the bad parts not really repair them
Yeah, we don't really fix much anymore. We just replace stuff when it gets broken.
It seems a bit wasteful, but it might actually save time/costs and have other benefits.
