Sooo...

I'm trying to figure out this EEEEEEE metal on metal noise from my 90 740 GL Regina. And the only things I found are:

1) Front brake rotor has enough of a ridge to be making noise. Worth replacing both...

2) The right rear wheel makes bad bearing grinding noises. I have no doubt that this bearing is bad.


So how much does it usually cost people to get theirs replaced? I'm tired of doing all this fun driveline business myself. It looks like a real messy job that I can't do inside my garage and like it will need a couple not-so-special tools that I don't have.


I am going to have a "spare" 4.10:1 axle from the 745 I want to use for my turbo engine - and I am already planning on putting the 3.93 from my old 90 744 into my 89 745. Seems like it would be worth swapping the entire axle, but the emergency brake is something I remember really struggling with.
