not to mention replacing gears is either expensive, or a pain to do

have you ever installed gears? It takes dial indicators and assembly, disassembly, marking with paint. I've done 2 and realized there was a reason in '95 it paid 10 hours (engine replacement was 12 hours to give a clue)

nope and cant say i ever plan on doing it. ill pay the 600 dollars to have it done. just for the record i figued since Caleb works at a shop they had the tools to do it and new gears would only be the price of the gears and install kit for him. thats all.

arch all that work with measuring should still be done when installing new bearings and crush sleaves. swapping gears durring a rear end rebuild isnt that much extra work.
