I fixed my brake vaccum advance pump for $10 when i was told it couldnt be fixed and needed to be replaced at a cost of nearly $450. Bearing etc should be bought from bearing suppliers not LR parts suppliers. I also ring every LR parts supplier in NSW when ever i need a part, just because supplier one was cheaper for one part doesnt mean they will be cheaper for the next. I remember when i needed new brake rotors for my commodore, the dearest price was $170 each the cheapest was $180 for both. It pays to shop around. Matt
