Question thanks tom,
i appreciate your help, a local mechanic who seems pretty sharp has quoted me about 5 hours of labor @$75 per hr plus the pump kit @ $70. this seems a bit on the high end and wanted to let you know my options. Thanks again

Answer -
This is NOT one of the easiest projects to do. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being extremly hard, I would rate this at about a 6.
If you have never done one, i do NOT recommeend that you try it by yourself without having expert guidance.
Your looking at approx $300 to $400 or more to have it replaced depending on where you have the work performed..

AnswerAs long as he is REPUTABLE and has a good trach record the price is OK. If you do NOT know this technician and or the facilities reputation, I would suggest to see if they are a member of the BBB and call the BBB and ask if they have had any complaints filed against them for poor workmanship BEFORE you get involved.
