After 3 hours he admitted that he had misquoted the job and that it should have been 2 hours labour per side but he was still going to charge me for 2 hours. I guess they must have slowed down after that, or it was giving them trouble, or since they were not making money off the job it got put in the slow lane, but I did not get it back until 4 PM and I had booked it in at 9 AM.
Makes me wonder if the Tech had not done this job before.
On both of our bikes it only took 1.7 hours and the total cost was $200 for parts and labor.
I waited both times so I know the 1.7 hour was close to the actual time needed.
I'm surprised you can feel a difference after the oil change.

Here's a picture of the tool used in the vice.
