You just reminded me of a 2004 Hyundai Getz that I bought to flip a few years back.
It needed a new 'lump', and to replace it, you had to remove the wiper cowl.
Pretty bizarre for me at the time, as I was not a full time 'spanner twirler' at the time.
Glad they made it so easy, as from opening the bonnet to closing it took me just under 4 hours. Yes I had the use of a hoist in a workshop.
Another fun fact, that's when I found out the AEG cordless 1/2 inch drive impact guns are the bomb. It undid both the CV shaft nuts with out a whimper.
My past experience with CV shaft nuts has been using a 600mm fixed head braker bar, with a long length of pipe,
and... a 2nd person inside car with foot of brake while having it in 5th gear. I love tech... sometimes.
Cheers,
One Mad Man
