it would help heaps if you let us know what vehicle you drive
a couple of years ago i did the ones on my 80 series , about $200 for parts ( don kyatt kit)and took me about 4 hours both sides. this was in the shed at
home - high lift jack and rattler gun access.
then a mate with with a patrol wanted a hand to do his truck
no probs Ii said,
unbeknown to me nissan king pin bearings are pressed on unlike landcruiser ones which just slip on
kit cost about same( maybe and extra 15 bucks) but it took us about six hours instead if 4 due to having to press off and on the kp bearings without access to press, ie puller to remove and jury rig system using sockets and vice to replace
live and learn
i'm a tight ar+s e and sure wouldnt pay anyone $900 + bucks for half a days work.
cheers
