$50 for a jack and two stands, plus about another $20 for a ratchet and
17MM socket, so figure about $70 to get it done. Haven't you ever heard of
working in the street like us white trash Kentucky crackers? :)

Seriously, I don't expect it would take more than an hour to do it. Add an
hour for bullshit time to make it 2. I can get a whole axle assembly
removed in about 3 (working out in the yard), so loosening the bolts and
moving the axle should be even quicker. Figure the cost based on your fav
garage's labour rates.
