Not at all. Assuming you have pixie fingers with built-in air ratchets with shop air pressure.

I was an hour on it. I gave up (my back did anyway). Went and got neighbour with small hands. He tried for half an hour. Then we got his 20-year old son. He finally got it loose. Time: 2.5 hrs.

I wasn't even doing the effing alt. I was only trying to loosen it to do the water pump.
