That squeaky bathroom fan took me 6 hours to fix

I thought replacing the motor in my old Nutone fan would be a quick Saturday morning job, but the mounting bracket was rusted in place and I had to cut it out with a hacksaw. After three trips to the hardware store and watching four different YouTube videos, I finally got it running by 4 PM instead of noon. Has anyone else had a simple fix turn into an all day project because of one stubborn part?

Those rusted brackets are the absolute worst man.

Yeah, had to cut a rusted bracket once too, that's brutal.
