These are toughies:
5. Changing the hanging oil canister filter - MGA or B - messy, and hard
to get to - and you have to do it too often.
4. Bleeding the clutch on an MGA - for those of you without and A - the
line goes up and back down out of the master cyninder making it a
wonderful place to trap air bubbles - brakes are similar, but not as bad.
3. Replacing the fuel pump on and MGA (all hard lines, only internal pump
and carb filters).
2. Replacing the master cylinder on an MGA - lines are hard to get to to
tighten.
1. Under dash MGB work including wiring, plumbing (oil pressure gauge),
dash removal, windshield removal - and the windshield job is really the
worst, as you almost have to do all of these as well as dismantle a frame
and re-assemble it with new glass (without breaking it).

None of these compare to setting the cam timing or adjusting the valves on
a porsche 911 though - ingenious system, but a lot of work to deal with.
And checking the 911 ignition timing at 6000rpm is no dream
either.
