Yeah, I wanted to bring the knuckle to any indy to do removal and and installation, but just about every shop I asked said they'd charge me an hour (80-90) and the one shop that wouldn't charge me the whole seemed so unsure about the process that I don't really feel comfortable going to him (potentially wrong tools, indeterminate charge).
