If the pins at the pivot points come out without having to use heat( then you are repainting things ), it is about a 3-4 hour job if you have some skills. I have broken 2 over time and one came apart another I sent off to have the whole tramson assembly rebuilt and repainted because the pins would not come out and a little heat was required to remove them.

What did it cost you to have it done after you sent it out. The parts and the rebuild? Not the R & R

The gimbal was like $2500, the place that did it no longer services # 6 stuff. I think to have the transon assembly rebuilt and repainted including new gimbal ring was something like $4500. Colabella, TNT, Cobra, Guy in Havasu,( call Teague ) for Havasu #.

The guy in Havasu is Vern; he did a great job for me at a very reasonable price. http://westcoastdrives.com/
