Re: Brake replacement - labour cost
To replace the front discs you have to remove the hub and re-pack the bearings. This is a big job! I reckon R2k is pretty reasonable.
As for replacing the rear main oil seal for R2k, that oke is definitely ripping himself off.

Re: Brake replacement - labour cost
Good morning Peter.
Thanks for the light in my doubts.
The garage in general is really well or at least fairly priced, that is why I wondered about the amount.
But your posts explains the problem.
By the way: I imported brakes and discs from Brembo from Germany. They where not too expensive and did fit spot on - every part.

SJC can you send me the detail on the guy you trust to work on your Patrol, my brother works in the Kruger and Graham is a bit far to take his "newly" acquired Patrol all the way to PTA if required - Tx

Re: Brake replacement - labour cost
I am still looking for someone that i can trust with my patrols. Have been to three different guys for different jobs, but not sure i will go back to either of them. There might be better options in nelspruit but i am still looking.

Re: Brake replacement - labour cost
2k for a rear main seal is a bargain....... myne lek nie eers nie en ek wil dit laat doen.
As for the labour on the discs, I dont think its that mutch if you take into account that you have to remove the wheelbearing housings as well

Re: Brake replacement - labour cost
Thanks Michael,
that is what I hoped and expected, I just wasn't sure about the amount of work to do.
So I can have peace regarding the 2K.
