Consider yourself lucky I guess. It's not a user thing - its a piss poor OE design.

Piss poor OE design? Sure.
I'd say after 10+ times of doing them on my own 2 cars and helping a large number of friends with their 3V mustangs it wasn't all luck (respectfully, of course)
Penetrating oil + warm engine = "lucky" installs for me.
