I just rebuilt mine and I know no why they are $250. It cost about $40 or so for the rebuild kit an about 16 hours or more to do the rebuild. It is kind of like rebuilding a single cylinder engine. As this is basically a hydraulic piston and valve assembly cleanliness is very important. I do have a step by step instruction I made into a word document that I got off one of the sites which was invaluable. If your gear box is working and not leaking just adjust the backlash.
