Ok im no expert but i replaced mine at easter last yr... u have 2 options.... i was quoted $250 to have it replaced in Bundy.... or you can do it ur self... i paid $50 for an aftermarket one at Repco and did the work myself, like i said i have limited experence in doing so but we did it..First we took off the fan belt then we had to get the HB off.... The biggest problem is to get the main nut off of the HB, what we did was extend the arm shaft of the socket so it touched the ground and pulsed the key to kick it over to losen the nut... but yeah...get some exta advice from others.. i know i would rather pay $50 then 200... i think there was a seal also for 15 bucks, im not sure if we used itor not. or even the use of it...

Hope this helps
