+1 I had them replace my axle bearings and seals as well. Now its all fresh.

$250 seems high to me. You may want to talk to some guys at some shops/dealerships and see if anyone does side work. I got mine done for $125

im also trying to keep this as cheap as I can,thats why i was hoping I wouldnt have to buy the master kit

I personally would do the bearing kit on anything over 60K. You don't want to do the job twice.
Where are you living that a shop is charging so much to do a gear swap?

do not cheap out on a gear install! if your short on cash save a little more & do it next month/etc. having someone do them that doesnt know what there doing (ie.ricer shop/etc) is a 100% for shure disaster! besides prices are a reginal thing, $250.00 is an excelent price around here (pgh. pa)
