It should take 5 minutes, if that. Those axles in the red and blue boxes, if that is what it is, need better padding in the box to keep the axles from sliding around so much. They use a universal box with a weak cardboard insert that doesn't do the job so well. I got a couple of those axles this week and all 4 joints were in loose parts so I put them back together. It is a bit tricky if you don't understand them. Mark

I need to find out from anyone who has assembled these what a reasonable amount of time/labor would be to put one back together. It's just one side. Van Cafe' has agreed to reimburse me for time, so just need an estimate. I have decided to turn this job over to a mechanic, who I'm sure will charge me to do this. The rate here in Alaska is $95 per hour. So, I'm guessing about 15 minutes, but maybe 30? > > Troy > |
