Yeah I had mine rebuilt by a bloke in Mulgrave (near Windsor, can look up his card if you want.)
Had most of the bearings replaced & a limo diff reconfigured & installed into it & it was only $700.

I probably should mention, I pulled the box out & gave it to him. Then reinstalled it myself.

Yeah but even still.. J&R's charged me $300 to take it out/reinstall it.. and then it was another 700 to get a few bearings (not sure how many but not all) replaced.

Ahh, thats a different story. Won it on Yahoo Japan auctions for about $150. By the time I got it landed here in aus it cost me $650 all up.
