MACKS Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 Pricking parts,Stengel Bros list the bar for 611.59 thought it would be more,add in every thing else needed comes to 1200 plus the cost of u-bolts,have to get price to n them,I would guess 2,000 + for labor to install,I'm thinking 3500 out the door..

JoeH Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) It's a job, yea, but my dad and I did ours a few years ago, snapped through between spring and the tower. New sucker weighs about 300 lbs! But you don't need any air guns for it. You need a torch for disassembly and a monster breaker bar or ratchet with a 10 ft cheater pipe and somewhere to sit on the floor where you can work the ratchet for reassembly. Ideally with something to put your feet against for traction. Need 2 people, one to work the ratchet and the other to hold the ratchet on the ubolt nut. When one person is worn out, switch places!
