That transmission is cheap. I’m tempted to buy it but one BF taxi is about to become a Camry and the transmissions in the other two are working perfectly. The diff is an ok price. Cheapskates like me have figured out to pay $100-150 for an AU diff and relocate one of the handbrake brackets, but not a lot of people have figured that out. Keep advertising that on Gumtree and someone will eventually pay the $500 for it. All this sort of stuff is selling very, very slowly this year on Gumtree. People aren’t buying stuff. You’ll get $500 for the diff and $300 for the transmission, but it might take some time. List them on Gumtree with photos. At least once a week delete the adverts and re-post them so that they are back at the start of the list again (ie date order). PM sent re 328mm rear brakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just laughed at the girl and told her last set I got done at ford in Proserpine nth QLD charged me $20 to do the pair then come back we can do it for $70.

I walked out bloody joke for 10mins workHow did the bearings cost $230?I pay $27.50 for each Timken 2985 bearing kit (ie $55 for both sides). The Timken bearing kits are known for lasting the longest.Replacing rear axle bearings on a ute or wagon is a an easy job. The only challenging part is getting the rear discs off if they're rusted on, but I found that a gear puller makes that part easy as well.http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90489-2007-fpv-tornado-ute-tinkering-setup/page-2#entry1552015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walked out bloody joke for 10mins workCall the place back. Speak with the most senior person possible. Tell them that you won't be a customer there ever again.We all try to make a profit. But $230 for bearings that anyone can buy for around $60 is getting a tad carried away.Pressing them on with a press takes seconds. Considering what they charged you for the bearings, they should have offered that for free straight away. Scenic Motors ripped you off. Big time.What you mean how did it cost $230 something lol? Pretty easy that's what they charged.If I had a 20T press in the back yard I would do it myself but I don't unfortunatelyThese days I've got a press at home, but when I used to have rear axle bearings done at a workshop it cost me $130 per side.Condolences that it cost you so much. Not trying to be a smart arse - I would have said to find a taxi workshop and pay their rates. Or, remove axles at home, cut bearings off and any workshop with a press (eg suspension place) would have pressed on new bearings for minimal cash or beer. It literally takes seconds.I'm currently on my third ute in 12 months. On each one I've replaced the rear axle bearings because it's so cheap and easy to do at home. Do a search on eBay for Timken 2985. Print the results take that to the Ford dealership. Ask how the bloody hell they can justify $230.$30.92 each, including postage:http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Timken-Wheel-Beraing-Kit-KIT2985-/141776940160?hash=item2102906c80 $60 for the pair, including postage:http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-REAR-WHEEL-BEARING-KIT-HOLDEN-COMMODORE-VR-VS-NO-IRS-UTE-VG-VP-UTE-2985-/200902207547?hash=item2ec6b4683b Call the dealership.
