well i saw the problem right off after reading the o.p.
you assumed. you assumed that vehicles or anything like that were engineered and built with service in mind.
they're not. it's engineered and built with ease of assembly on the assembly line in mind. every vehicle or motorcycle
or off road conveyance or tractor or outboard motor or yard maintenance device etc. i've ever had and messed with
is built that way. for ease of assembly on an assembly line. the other stuff, cut-outs in the chassis for access, etc. are
an afterthought.
