How about buying the tools to do it and giving it a shot yourself? Once you figure it out with help from the net, you know how to do it for life. A little hard with a daily driver, but totally doable.

I did this and the first one took for ever. did the second one and then realized I didn't get the first one quite right. Then re-did the front. I would do it the same way all over again.

I did the same thing. I've done more than I can remember now.

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...

Been setting up rearends from a lawnmower to 5 ton toploader rearends & power dividers for about the last 18 years, along with rebuilding 8-18 speed transmissions. I don't always have alot of time on my hands to do em but if you are not in a major rush get a hold of me and if ya wanna drop it off I will do it as quick as I can. I charge very reasonable and have never had anyone complain. Will setup specifically for offroad or on road.

^^^OP. I can speak from first hand experience, this IS your best and most cost effective option. Jim taught me the basics and i've since been setting up gears myself.
