Updating for others down the road...

Apparently, Big George has retired, so he's out.

Halt Auto (in Maineville, that Jim used) took a couple calls to get back, but finally quoted me ~$500 (7hrs @ $70), and said I might as well bring my own parts.

That didn't seem bad to me, but I ended up going to a friend of a friend, off US50 north of Batavia.

He gave me a really good deal, said that he'd do others cheap, too.

But. He'd really rather (like only) do loose axles on the bench. If that's worth saving a couple-few hundred bucks to you, let me know, and I'll get you in touch with him...
