Stop in for a cup of coffee

I did not do it, my little garage is not so equipped, I let a shop that has been doing this for over 40 years do it.
I guess what I'm suggesting is that could be the same money spent on a small arbor press. if you have room.
These days replacing bearings and seals on an axle, like an 8.75, $200 might be now the rate. That job is more involved. JMO. Rates for shop work can vary quite a bit from place to place. Property prices and taxes here may be cheap compared to where your guy is at.
