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.

maybe, but all I know is that I was not that comfortable with attempting to cut the hubs out of the drum with my limited experience and tools. I'd rather have someone that has done it for a long time do it. not to mention all the correct machines and everything.
Eventually I will try it when I have more space and knowledge.
