Brake Job & Diff/Axle Seals On M185A3...

What's a guesstimate on how much a complete brake job, parts & labor, & new diff/axle seals should cost on an M185A3? Any recommendations on somebody in the Central TX area that knows their way around Deuces & who could do a good brake job?

Thanks...

I'm not around, but my price has always been $ 75 per hub, plus whatever parts and grease, brake cleaner, etc. at no markup. That's for rears. Front hub/ knuckles are $125 each labor. So basically $ 250 for the front end and $300 for the whole rear, labor only. Parts will probably come in around $300 if you replace all wheel cylinders and hub seals and the like. Around 20 pounds of grease at whatever price it is for what you choose, and then a case of brake cleaner and a box of blue Scott shop rags. Also factor in a gallon of brake fluid at around $100.

Usually you end up between $1200-$1800 to have it all done right, depending on what all needs to be replaced.
