The dealers around here in Flint, MI want approx (4-5hrs) $375 to change my track in my SRX. I have time but not the knowledge to accomplish the change. Anybody out there interested in making some extra $$, I would be there to assist.
 
I am not fully confident in myself to be walked through, sounds sad I know but I took the shocks out two years ago to be long traveled, and that took everything I had physically-that rear bolt holding the suspension turned out to be a real sob.
 
If i was closer i would definately help you out! In all honesty its not that bad of a job though. Last winter i changed one by myself in a viper in a little under an hour and a half. First time doing it will definately take longer but we can definately guide you through it.

I am changing mine in a week or two also...for the first time

Changed my old bravo before, but am still confident...the process is usually the same

I did want to ask if the gasket for the chaincase ends up mangled?? I am wondering if I should just buy a new one?? Also, the 2 bearings right?
 
really isnt all that complicated, look in the tech pages theres a step by step on how to do it. what i do when im not too sure is grab the digital camera take a bunch of pics as i go then if i dont remember how things go back together, i go on the computer crack a beer and use the pictures as a reference tools. (you can zoom in and see if that bushing went on top or botom of the chaincase, in front or behind of the sprockets) i know some of you wished you took that picture at least once in your life. anyway get in there and try its really not that bad.

I just did mine on my 99 SRX this last weekend, it was a good learning experience, but took me literally all of the weekend, both saturday and sunday. I'm no nascar mechanic by any means, but the worst part is getting the brake disk to come loose. I busted my *** all day saturday trying to get that MFer off, finally gave up after supper. Went out sunday morning, tapped it with the handle end of a screwdriver, came right off. Piss me off, I pried, hammered, pounded and cussed the shat out of it....At any rate, I chose to do my own because I couldn't afford to take it in and have a dealership do it (they charge 90/hour, ripoff) but my time is worth something too. Next time I'll take it in and have it done, I'll have them do the bearings, etc...get it all in one shot and save me some sanity. The guys on the forums here are absolutely the BEST!!! More than willing to help out and I had a bunch of replies within minutes!! If you have some mechanical ability, it's not that bad. Just don't get in a hurry, take your time, and remember where everything goes.

Yep, my mechanical ability definetly in question. That busting my *** thing all weekend doesn't sound like all that much fun..then I have until the snow flies and find out I did something wrong..
 
There might be someone at the dealership who would help you out for a few bucks after hours. Or someone that used to work at a dealership and now does it on the side. There's always someone around. And you'd be surprised how easy it can be with a few digital pictures and some notes.
