True enough, but, if the guy is in the business, he's not paying retail 
for the parts, but, rather, jobber prices, and is likely only replacing 
the bits that actually require replacement.  As well, if one is just 
rebuilding the diffs out of core stock, the shop time is going to be 
much less (more like 3.5-4.0 hours) because there's no R&R required. 


Cheers.
