I did my first set as well on a Yamaha M3 a couple weeks ago, without the benefit of instruction (the one I called in my chapter said to just replace the flanges). It took me 8+ hours, but I had quoted a $200 price, and that still didn't seem like enough.( I had significant travel time involved in picking up and returning the action.) I will probably charge more the next time I have the opportunity do do that procedure again. Would appreciate seeing info from Bill McKaig, was it in the Journal?
