How many hours should it take an experienced mechanic to do a complete disassembly of the steering column, change the sleeve (that is the part that usually fails) and the bearing and then reassemble?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Yes. I found this out, unfortunately, after the column was taken out, by a mechanic who was unaware of the cheap easy fix. My question is how long should it take a competent mechanic to disassemble and reassemble the steering column? I'm wondering if the hours charged for this were excessive. Had I spent 20 minutes researching this before I passed the job off I would have saved myself a lot of money. Lesson Learned.

That fix has been known for over 20 years. It wouldn't surprise me if a mechanic that wasn't aware of it also doesn't know what they are doing when taking the steering column apart.
That said, I understand that it is pretty time consuming - that's why the fixes were developed. I'm just not sure what is reasonable.

unreasonable, tho I've never done it
I worked out how to do it ((older style column on a '73) but was able to take care of my own problem with it in situ). It is not that hard to do; may require a press tho.
4-5 hrs maybe
