in or out of the vehicle?

I'll bet you can save a shitload of money if you can give your installer an axle they can bench without having to mess with the unrelated parts.

if thats something you can get away with, I wouldn't expect that you should pay more than 150-200 bucks....labor-only of course.
 
around the boston area your looking at $500 on the bench at least thats what i found.
 
I took our local shop just the housing with the old gears still installed and the new gears w/ install kits and they charged $140. As Beezil said, had they had to take the old axles out and remove the brakes, it would have cost much more. Oh, and I sold the old gears for $25...
 
Around Colorado Springs, the axle on vehicle install ranges from about $320-400 for the D30. That is much more then I want to pay. If I had a second vehicle, I'd pull the shafts and brakes like Capt. Nemo did, and give them the rest.
 
where are you in kentucky. If anywhere near louisville i can do it for you for a good price. Let me know.
 
Free in Milwaukee.
Read up, print off some pic and tips, borrow some tools, and get to work.
HTH.
