I bring you the trailing arms, old bearings removed, bearing housing cleaned and ask you to press in the new bearings, which I've supplied.
How long might it take, and what might it cost? |

I don't mind paying for professional work and I value establishing working relationships, so I'm not looking to nickel and dime anyone with this post. So, here goes...
Guy says he'll get to it between jobs. Two hours later he calls and says come back with the stub axels and he'll pull them into the hubs also. I get there and talk with him around his bench while he uses a drill, nut and washer to pull the stubs into the hubs....maybe 20 minutes. All finished......he says that's two hours....$180. I'm dumbfounded. I'm naive. I'm just plain dumb. I didn't ask for a price beforehand. No way did I expect to get hit like this. True story. No exaggeration. Wish I lived closer to Manchester CT where I know there are a group of honest people who enjoy working on these cars. I'm also sure there are others much closer. |
