Will need new collapsable spacer, new bearings, new seal etc. Costs a few hunder just in parts, and then it still may be noisy without lapping the gears. _________________________________________________

They are only about $120. _______________________________________________________ If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords?
