CV's and Bearings

Wow. And, Isuzu dealership's feel great for charging $800/side for this?

Only $400/hr?

Like I said, I didn't buy it because it's an Isuzu. (I bought it because it's almost a Chevy! LOL)

I wouldn't have asked the question I asked if I'd felt they were still unanswered. How does the outboard CV separate from the wheel? snap ring and pull? snap ring and puller? IDK.

Yeah I just misunderstood your question. I'm surprised that part isn't in the writeup, little strange.

As Billy had in his past thread, the dealership replaces the entire half shaft which should include the green cup/jack shaft. This would require dropping the diff which would add hours of labor to the cost. Maybe thats why the dealership charges $850/side?

Regardless the EMPI half shafts work great for $60... as long as you don't need to replace the green cups

It is why. OTOH, both the Isuzu stealerships in Kansas City wouldn't listen to the easy way to pull halfshafts. I offered to provide links on this "how-to" in order to provide quotes for the easier job. Olathe Isuzu said "No thanks." Jack Miller Isuzu service hung up on me.

That's about what I think of dealerships too!

What a rip.

Thanks for the feedback guys!


(BTW...Inland Truck in Olathe quoted $250/side for this procedure....Maybe other I.T. facilities in the country would follow-suit?) Sounds much better to me. OTOH, I'd be the DIYer kind of guy...)
