I have a problem with a leak on the front axle (4WD--photos below) that I have decided after watching a lot of YT videos I just do not feel comfortable doing by myself--as in no help lifting, holding in place while I try to seat snap rings, etc. Looks like could be a real task... Anyway dealer says it will cost me $480 for them to do it including changing the O-Ring on the axle and both seals, which seems reasonable.
While talking with him I asked for a quote on changing the UDT and two filters. He said total would be $450.00 including both filters and 11 or so gallons of fluid. Said materials would be $325.00 and labor $125.00. Seems quite fair to me as I don't have drain and haul off 11 gallons of fluid.
As I have not priced the fluid and filters does $325 seem about right for the UDT and filters? Or could I get it for cheaper than that and do it myself to save money?
EDIT: One more thing. I have seen discussions in the past on UDT and UDT2..which one do I want?
