Buying an ARB airlocker for the rear of my ute and I'm removing and reinstalling the centre to myself as I want to do teh rear wheel bearings at the same time. I've been quoted $260 just to fit the locker to the centre, is this a fair price?? Seems a little over the top seeing as though I'm pulling the centre out & giving it to them then reinstalling it myself.
Not having a whinge, just want to know if thats a fair price or not... if it is, then I'm happy to pay it
Sorry, forgot to say I'm buying it from the same place and they've only quoted me stock standard retail price as well for the locker

Hey Brighty I work in a 4x4 shop on the Northern Beaches and just did lockers for one of our clients. Standard charge is approx 2 hours to remove and install locke setting all preloads and backlash correctly so that's about $220 plus any extra parts required thus being pinion bearings carrier bearing if not supplied etc
Any queries just pm me for more details
Regards
Mitch

Somewhere around $180-220 would be a fair normal price.
Its really a 2hour job max + consumables (parts wash/rags etc..) so $260 isnt being taken to the cleaners but its a bit more than I would expect.
