Hey, If you all remember I got advise to get the gears first. Well, I am about to buy them and I guess the bearing kit to??? I call a placed down here to see what they would charge..... He said well.. It will be around 800 to 900 dollars to put them in... Guy Come on... Is it that hard to put them in.. if so oh well but if you think not... I will do it myself!!!

[droppedbass87]

hell no..i did mine for 26 dollars myself..of course we have 3 lifts and a shop but its not to to hard but if i did someones elses install i would charge em about 275 to 300 bucks

[HMUSN]

that's too much too pay.

look between $250 and $350

[Kosinski]

well, if it is not all that hard. I am the type of guy that likes to learn and do things myself, where should i look at what I need and instructions in putting them in.

[HMUSN]

it's harder than you think

[G.T. Rags]

after i got my gears installed my friend broke it down for me step by step so i could understand what i was charged for.

theres a very large chance u can screw something small up that can cause the whole thing to go.

if u've never done something like this before, and only have limited hand on expericance, i wouldn't attempt it.

[Kosinski]

cool I will find someone else... i am not going to get raped.. ... For real he told me that and I am sometimes...just an asshole so I said..."Look, were you going to give me a REACH AROUND with that to" He got mad and hung up on me...

[G.T. Rags]

when my rear end was done i got a full rebuild and was charged approx 500-550.

this included the cost of parts as well. I feel i even got ripped, but not by much

[Kosinski]

Thank you all I will do something. anyway I will get back on in a little bit. I am going on a standby.. I am on a 48 hr. shift..so...

This is just bullshit IMO, because I know how to do the install, its not hard. But you need to know how to do it, then its so fucking easy. PPL charging that much for a gear install, they know everyone thinks is so damn hard. So they charge you thru the ass. I wouldnt charge no more than probably $200 to do it.

Like its been said though, if you dont have the tools, and your just a guy that changes his own oil, then do not try to do it. (gonna sound like an asshole here) Frankly some ppl just need to learn how to work on their own cars or either just pay the labor costs and dont bitch, after all you are paying for their time, tools, space and knowledge.

i agree its not complicated once you have seen it done and had someone break down how to do it. but dont just try to wing it and hope it works out. where are you located? maybe some of us can recomend some shops for you

But u said it urself, u wouldn't charge more then 200 for it. Most shops wouldn't even touch that number.

[ujslost]

alright now fucker, now i have to edit mine too!



Im a cheap bastard, I would rather learn how to do something rather than pay someone though.
