I have a good candidate: 1987 Bally Party Animal, there's a large rubber along the back, just up against the back wall and underneath two sets of ramps. To replace, you have to remove all ramps, the two posts holding the rubber, pin the rubber up against the back wall to prevent it from releasing itself, and then put the posts back in under tension. Yuck.

Anything that requires removal of ramps or toys is no fun, though it's usually cheap enough just to do everything at once.

Quoted from Jeff_PHX_AZ:

That's the hardway to do it! Here is what you do, take the playfield out and in the back of the pf is 2 screws holding a piece of wood, take that off you have access to the rubber rings in the back. No taking the ramp off or the habi-trails. Found this trick by accident when pulled the pf out and rested it on the cabinet saw the screws and wholla! 5-10 min and done.

Genius!
