Shop refuses to install my parts

[YosemiteSam]

Are there any R3v members that live near you? I know if someone near me needed help with something I'd done before I'd be willing to lend a hand and some tools if they brought food and tasty beverages.

great. thanks for all your help everyone. I will just have to learn to do it myself. Stupid question was stupid.

Just offer some beer and pizza, be nice, and someone close to you will come to help you out.

An MC replacement can be done with 3 tools.

7mm and 13mm combo wrench, and 11mm flare nut wrench. Add in a piece of PVC tube to bleed the brakes and you're good to go.

I disagree. Only a vice-grips is required for this project.

why argh ye leaving brudah hammer out ? he can.

1) play by the rules and have a reputable shop do the work, pay more for a 'complaint box' option if the labor/parts fail

2) hire a wrench/r3v'r local to you to do it with whatever the hell parts you please - here's a quarter if anything goes wrong but save a chunk of cash

3) sack up and do it yourself like everyone else

No shop wants you coming back in a few months when your cheapy URO guibo decides to grow hair.

You bought an used mc for $150? Dam, I bought mine used for $35.

Look up on Craig's list, I'm sure someone can help you out for cheap.

I also hear there are guys willing to pay to be able to massage you.

hahahaha, i got a BNIB no-name guibo in a box of parts. I probably paid about $15 for it, but i got a solid 2 months out of it!

Would you take your own steak into a steakhouse? I don't see why people expect others to work for free. You bought the car and now have two options. Learn to do it yourself (which is a lot of fun) or Pay a shop what there time /experience/tools are worth. Believe it or not the guy at the shop does not go to work to lose money. Why should you get paid for your job and then expect to not have to pay someone else for theirs?
