Default xr seals how much???

How much are you guys paying to have new seals installed in your bravo drives? I have an xr drive that I'm having torn down and was quoted $600 to have resealed. That's just for seals, not saying its to much I just don't know.

The hardest part of that job is taking the drive off to replace the drive to gimbal housing seal. Other than that, split the lower from the upper, replace 2 o-rings, pull the prop-shaft carrier, replace one o-ring & one seal.
$600 is pretty steep for $25 worth of parts & 2 hours of labor.

Default drive

Quote was for $600 and I have already have the drive off. I found someone who is going to do it and inspect gears for $250.
