Justin,
The rebuild is very do-able for about $200 dollars in parts. You need a
Haynes Manual and a collection of tools. A rubber mallet, a bronze hammer
and set of bronze drifts, circlip remover tool, an assortment of pullers
and seal installers. All this stuff you have or can get from Harbor
Freight for less than $100
