    I honestly don’t care how difficult it is, only if it’s possible

    Can you think in the relationship of the two variables?

        The more difficult it is to repair something, the less possible it becomes to repair it.

        Damn-near anything is possible to repair with the right training and equipment but there is a very wide spectrum between what an average person can do with tools they can easily pick up at any hardware store for cheap and a little common sense and some YouTube videos to guide them, and repairs that require specialist knowledge and equipment.

        When something is made more difficult to repair, it slips further into that specialist end of the spectrum, so it’s possible for less people.

          That’s not true.

          what an average person can do with tools they can easily pick up at any hardware

          The tools someone has has nothing to do with difficulty.

                You could use pliers, you could very carefully hit the corners of the head in a clockwise direction with a hammer, you could spend a lot of time training the strength in your hand and arm to tighten it by hand, you could use a dremel, saw, or file to cut a slot into it and tighten it with a screwdriver

                But it’s a lot easier to use a wrench.

                  That’s not repairing it, that’s just breaking it further.

                    You know, I’m pretty certain at this point you’re trolling, but I’m curious to hear how you justify this

                    If the reason something is broken is a loose or missing bolt, how does tightening that bolt with pliers instead of a wrench equate to breaking it further?
