I recently turned 60 and I no longer find wrenching on my own cars nearly as enjoyable/relaxing as when I bought my first 9-5 back at the age of 43. I have nothing but admiration for those who continue the art, and building the knowledge base, of automotive repairs as they approach the commonly accepted retirement age.
Hydraulic lifts and pneumatic powered tools help some, but the body stresses of laying stretched across an engine bay, or curled up in a footwell working under the dash, for an hour or more aren't improved by modern tools.
Best wishes to you John! Your comments and hints have helped me in my D-I-Y endeavors.
