The likelihood of a repair or modification working is directly dependent 
on whether you've reassembled everything without testing it first and 
inversely proportional to the difficulty of disassembling everything in 
the first place.

Corollary #1: If it is REALLY difficult to remove and replace, you will 
break something else just as you get it back together after fixing the 
first thing.

This really became clear to me working on servers (especially 
rack-mounted), cars (especially Hondas) and small electronics.  But it 
seems like it should apply to just about anything that is a pain to get 
at or disassemble.

Later,
