nope, they dont have enough skill to even put a wheelbolt on properly, I am doing all of the work, they are just going to struggle with getting the snapped locking wheelnut bolts out of the rear wheels and then pay me £499.

Im paying myself £40 an hour to fix my own car anyway, asking for £300 for the hubs is a bit too far dont you think

I dont see how you can get wheel nuts that tight with a windy gun that it needs 2 people to undo them.

neither do I. they must have some huge compressor. The Snap-on tool guy was there while we were taking them off, he couldnt belive how tight they were. then again, the air impact wrenches they use there are huge!
