Ballpark estimates for rebuilding a 12 bolt rearend?
I have a bad pinion bearing I've been told. I have a line on another rearend out of another '72 leaf spring truck for $150. But, that's just another 36 year old rearend. I'm curious what I should expect to pay to have the pinion replaced. I'm going to call around but I thought I'd ask.

This is kind of a "loaded" question....

First thought is, $150 is a fairly cheap fix, and will only take a few hours. It is just as old, but that doesn't mean that it has neglected it's whole life. I would look it over, go through the brakes, and put it in. Even if you do have a problem with the "new" one, you can always rebuild your original (while it is out) and put it back in. "Pinion replaced" is not going to happen. You have to replace the gears as a "set", plus all new bearings, seals, etc... "Ballpark" Gears..................$200-$250 Bearing/seal kit.....$100 Labor..................$200-$250 Assuming that there is no other internal damage/wear that would need to be addressed at the same time, you are looking at $500-$600 |
