You could say "Bashing the Bishop", I'm pretty sure there are no Clergy reading (at least this thread), or perhaps "Boxing the Clown" because that insults everyone equally and so it's OK...

Yeah, ya gotta be politically correct nowdays huh? "waxing the carrot" was another one that came to mind- there aren't any carrots reading this are there? 
If anyone checks that Pelican link, do yourself a favor and go straight to the end of the 2nd page- the one about shocking the cat was hilarious. I'm an animal lover myself, so you have to read it to understand- I got a really good visual off that one. I think it's worth checking out...

Well.. I don;t check for a few hours and things explode.
Craig.. the next time you need some help.. look it up yo' damn self.. and picture me giving you a rather large 1 finger salute. BITCH!
By the time you wrote all that, you could have looked up the numbers... hell you could have made a friggin wastegate. Oh.. and if you weren't so immature, you would have realized that I paid you a compliment in saying that you have matured (on this board, until now) since you got a 951. But you just wanted to **** and moan because you screwed something up (as usual) and now most likely have been kicked off this board again.
So.. on that note... I end this round of posting. Topic closed.

it took me about 3/4 hrs to get the old one off and the new one on (collectively). (i got lucky though. No studs broke and I didn't need to use heat.)
The most difficult task was cleaning off the banjo bolt and squeezing the new rubber line over it.

Thanks Dan P, I needed a good chuckle.
I don't know about the time involved, but labor around here is $70 to $95/hr, I wouldn't trust anyone who only charges $40/hr.
[quote] Better yet, what is a 'fair' price for that proceedure, I DO NOT let people FCK me over, I wanna have some knowledge about this... I'm guessing $120? $40/1 hour, if it's more than that they need to be shot. <hr></blockquote>
Hey here's an idea; instead of getting behind the keyboard, asking us "how much does this cost", then getting pissed off if no one (NOT noone) answers within your time limit; PICK UP A PHONE and ask a few mechanics for an estimate.
